Discussion: Voltage control oscillator is an oscillator in which the input terminal voltage controls output signal frequency. From the graph above according to the readings taken, it can be seen clearly that as the input voltage increases, the output frequency also increases. This relation should be linear but due to different kind of circuitry parameters, this is not linear all over.

2. Q. What characteristics of the modulated signal found in the experiment implies that this is actually a frequency modulated signal? Ans: By definition frequency modulation (FM), utilizes the amplitude of audio signal to modulate the frequency of carrier signal. The transmitted high and low frequency signals follows the received audio signal, which has different frequency that keeps on changing. In the experiment it was seen that the frequency of the modulated signal was changed from that of the input message signal. 3. Q. Show the block diagram of frequency modulation and demodulation using PLL. Compare it with the setup used in the experiment.

4. Q. Show the block diagram of frequency modulation and demodulation using FM-toAM conversion discriminator. Compare it with the setup used in the experiment.

5. Q. Discuss any deviations found in the experiment. Ans : The deviation occurs when the message signal is in higher amplitude. Then in the output the demodulated signal is noisy. 6. Q. Discuss the effects and purpose of the adjustment knobs, namely VR1 in MC1648 modulation block, VR1 in LM566 modulation block, and VR1 in PLL demodulation block. Ans: VR1 in MC1648 modulation block is used for varies the amplitude of message signal , VR1 in LM566 modulation block is used for adjust the free running , and VR1 in PLL demodulation block also used for adjust the free running frequency . 7. Q. For long distance communication, which modulation (AM or FM) is preferable? Give reason. Ans: FM modulation is preferable in long distance communication rather than AM modulation since in FM modulation noise can be eliminated. As the frequency of the signal is only modulated ,a low pass filter may be used to recover the original message signal. But in AM modulation noise affects the amplitude of the signal and is difficult or impossible to remove.
