Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the modulation constant over a wide band by making the degree of the decrease in the modulation by a 1st modulation means employing a varactor diode equal to the decree the increase in the modulation by a 2nd modulation means employing a variable capacitor element. CONSTITUTION:A modulation signal Sm is inputted to an anode of a varactor diode 11 being a component of a 1st modulation means M1, the modulation signal Sm is inputted to a gate being a control terminal of a FET 13 being a component of a 2nd modulation means M2a. Thus, a phenomenon of an increased oscillating frequency by the said 1st modulation means M1 resulting in the decreased modulation is compensated by the said 2nd modulation means M2a. In this case, the rate of the decreases in the oscillating frequency versus modulation by the 1st modulation means M1 is made equal to the rate of the increase in the oscillating frequency versus modulation by the 2nd modulation means M2a to uniformize the oscillating frequency versus modulation of the frequency modulation circuit.

The haricap diode 11 and the resonator 12 are coupled to each other. Since the capacitance of the Haricap diode 11 changes according to the output voltage of the phase comparator 1, the resonator 12 resonates with a signal having a frequency corresponding to the output voltage of the phase comparator 1.

By the way, when performing FM modulation, if the frequency shift (modulation degree) corresponding to the level of the modulation signal Sm is large, the occupied frequency band will be expanded. However, the occupied bandwidth of wireless communication devices is determined by law, and if the bandwidth exceeds the allowed bandwidth, it will not only hinder the effective use of the frequency, but also cause problems.
The second problem with the law will arise. Conversely, if the modulation depth is small, the modulation will be shallow, which will impede intelligibility on the receiving side.

従って、変調度は規定の占有帯域幅内で一定であること

Therefore, it is desirable that the degree of modulation be constant within the specified occupied bandwidth, but according to the configuration shown in FIG.
As shown in a), as the oscillation frequency increases, the modulation degree decreases, and according to the configuration shown in FIG. 6, as the oscillation frequency increases, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the modulation degree increases.

Further, in the configuration shown in FIG. 7, the oscillation frequency-modulation characteristic changes critically depending on the values of the capacitor 16 and the haricap diode 17, making it difficult to adjust the modulation degree to a constant value. Furthermore, recent VCOs are required to have a wide range of oscillation frequencies.
In conventional modulation circuits such as those described in ``2'', it has become even more difficult to maintain a constant modulation degree over the entire frequency range of this wide band.

In the circuit diagram of another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 2, instead of applying the modulation signal Sm to the gate, which is the control terminal of the oscillation element FET13, which is the second modulation means M2a in FIG.
A second modulation means M2b for applying a modulation signal Sm via a capacitor 14 and a varicap diode 15 is provided between the resonator and the oscillation element FET13. The values of the capacitor 14 and the varicap diode 15 of the second modulating means M2b may be selected such that the degree of modulation increases as the oscillation frequency of the VCO increases. Further, in order to match the phase with the modulation input by the first modulation means M1, the circuit of FIG. 7, which is a prior art, differs slightly in the arrangement of elements and the addition of a modulation signal. However, by selecting the values of the capacitor 14 and the varicap diode 15, the oscillation frequency-modulation characteristic of the modulation means M2b becomes as shown in FIG.
The operation of the modulation circuit shown in the figure is exactly the same as that shown in FIG. Also in this case, variable resistors R1, R2
This allows the input level of the modulation signal Sm to be varied.

[Effects of the Invention] The disadvantage of the first modulation means that inputs a modulation signal to a varicap diode, in which the modulation degree decreases as the output frequency increases, is overcome by the control terminal of the oscillation element, in which the modulation degree increases as the output frequency increases. Alternatively, it can be compensated by a second modulation means that applies a modulation signal between the resonator and the oscillation element via a variable capacitance element, and the degree of modulation reduction by the first modulation means and the second modulation can be compensated. Since the degree of increase in the modulation factor by means can be made the same, there is an effect that the modulation factor can be made constant over a wide band as shown in FIG. 3(C).
