Frequency Multipliers Desired Harmonic: N Unwanted Harmonics fout = Nfin fin Frequency Multipliers also multiply phase, hence modulation index!
FM from PM…and vice versa fc N kp(rad/v) Phase Mod Equivalent Frequency Modulator Most analog phase modulators exhibit acceptable linearity only for |Df |< p/4. thus mp/f < p/4 . We can create higher modulation index using a frequency multiplier.

Narrowband FMmp/f ~0.5 > only 1 sideband USB + LSB What if we were to delay the sidebands by p/2 ? USB LSB USB USB + LSB Carrier (stationary) LSB FM Phasor Df Hey Bret, do you remember plain ol’AM? …do you remember anything?
