fm generation

Direct Method: when the frequency of carrier is

modulated by information signal

Indirect Method: when the phase of carrier is

modulated by information signal

FREQUENCY UP-CONVERSION

With FM and PM modulators, the carrier at the output is

generally somewhat lower than the desired frequency of

transmission.

There are two basic methods of performing frequency up

conversion.

1. Heterodyning process

2. Frequency multiplication12
