Need clarification about FM demodulation

[kirubanithi]

For the Frequency modulation the carrier frequency will change with respect to data. but i need to transmit the modulated carrier at 93.5MHz means what i need to do.

The carrier frequency can be generated by a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator), all you have to do is to vary its tuning voltage very slightly.

 

[vk6kro]

93.5 MHz is the "quiet" frequency of the carrier without any modulation on it.

When there is speech or music, this frequency varies but only over a very small percentage of the carrier frequency.

It may vary up to 100 KHz which is only 0.1% of the carrier frequency.

The frequency variation with modulation is centred about the carrier frequency so it swings up and down by equal shifts.

 

[kirubanithi]

From the fig the data 01010 is modulated in a carrier ( carrier frequency is X MHz).Based on the data '1' the carrier frequency changed to Y MHz. Then how it is possible to transmitte the modulated carrier in a single frequency.

 

[vk6kro]

The frequency does move, but only by a small amount.

A data "0" may be 93.500 MHz while a data "1" may be 93.501 MHz.

This is called Frequency Shift Keying (FSK). In this case, the shift would be 1 KHz.

It could be shifted further, but there might be other signals nearby and if less shift is used, then there can be more signals in the same spectrum portion.
