FSK Spectra Generation

Abstract

The results of a study of a phase locked modulation technique applicable to phase coherent FSK are presented. This technique employs a continuous phase, frequency shifted, phase locked loop to produce controlled, non-instantaneous, frequency transitions between the mark and space frequencies. Operational and spectral analyses have been conducted, and spectral data have been calculated for the modulated carrier signal and its corresponding effective modulating signal. It is shown that effective modulation wave-shaping can be achieved and that the corresponding signal bandwidths can be controlled within certain limits by variation of the loop parameters, undamped natural frequency and open loop gain. Representative data are presented, corresponding to a selected class of loop parameters, as a function of modulation index and the ratio of frequency transition time to bit length.
