Change in frequency deviation for change in modulating frequency through mixer
After passing the FM signal through mixer, what is the change in the frequency deviation Δ when the modulating frequency is doubled?
Options:
a) Becomes 2 Δ
b) Becomes Δ /2
c) Becomes Δ2
d) Remains unchanged
Correct Answer: d) Remains unchanged
Explanation:
When a carrier is Frequency modulated, the output signal has the frequency deviated above and below the carrier frequency, this is known as Frequency Deviation. When the FM signal is passed through a mixer, the mixer changes the carrier frequency but the deviation remains unchanged.
