Design and Performance of a Broad-Band FM Demodulator with Frequency Compression

Abstract

This paper contains a discussion of several major problem areas concerning the design, construction, systems application and threshold improving properties of the Frequency Compression Demodulator. A complete description of an experimental broad-band demodulator is presented. This demodulator is intended for use in an intercontinental satellite communication system and is suitable for either television or telephone service. Circuit details, performance data, and a measured comparison with FM are presented.
