CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Establishing Demodulation Characteristics:
Generally, demodulation characteristics of FM detectors are determined by the external phase shifter. However, this
product has a unique function which can optionally establish the demodulation characteristics by the time constant of the
circuit parts after demodulation. The following explains this concept.
Figure 8 shows the internal equivalent circuit of the detector output stage.
The multiplier output current of the detector is converted to a voltage by the internal OP AMP. The characteristic of this
stage is determined by converting the current to voltage with resistor R
0
and the capacitor C
0
connected between Pin 8
and Pin 9 (see Figure 8).
In other words, the slope of the S-curve characteristic can be established optionally with resistor R
without changing the
constant of the phase shifter. The demodulated bandwidth can be established optionally by the time constant of this
external resistor R
and capacitor C
0
inside of a bandwidth of the IF-filter and phase shifter. Figure 9 shows an example
of this characteristic.
