Demodulating an FM Signal
Demodulating an FM Signal
This section demonstrates how to demodulate and listen to an FM signal. You can
tune to an FM signal and view the results of the detector output displayed in the
quad-view window or single-window format.
Alternatively, the demodulated signal is also available as an audio output (to the
speaker or headphone jack) and as video output (on the rear panel).
The signal under test is a signal at 300 MHz with FM deviation of 10 kHz and FM
rate of 1 kHz. Note that if you are using a broadcast FM signal in the United States,
for example, the FM channels are broadcasting between 87.7 MHz and 107.7 MHz.
