FM demodulation
3.3.1.3.1. FM Discriminator
The number of periods of the FM discriminator can be configured between 1 to 16. The output amplitude
depends on the selected Pre-Detection filter and the discriminator number of periods.
Let us take the example of an input IF carrier which is FM modulated by a pure sub-carrier, this signal being in
the Pre-Detection filter bandwidth.
-to-polar converter is:
𝝋(𝒏) =

Where:
𝑛
is the sample time index,
𝑁
is the number of bits on which the phase and the frequency are coded,
𝜔
𝐶𝐹
is the pulsation of the Center Frequency transposing synthesizer-NCO,
𝑐
is the pulsation of the input signal carrier,
𝜔
𝑠𝑐
is the pulsation of the input modulation sub-carrier,
𝐹
𝑠
is the sampling frequency,
𝑓
𝑠𝑐
is the frequency of the input modulation sub-carrier,
∆𝐹
is the FM frequency deviation.
The frequency output f(n) of the differentiator, where
𝐷
is the differentiator delay, is:
