Question 397

Which of the following can be used to generate FM phone signals?

  1. Balanced modulation of the audio amplifier
  2. Reactance modulation of a local oscillatorCorrect answer
  3. Reactance modulation of the final amplifier
  4. Balanced modulation of a local oscillator

Explanation

FM is produced by varying the frequency of the signal source itself, so the modulator has to act on an oscillator. A reactance modulator does this by placing a voltage-variable reactance across the oscillator's tuned circuit; acting on the final amplifier or using a balanced modulator would not shift frequency.
