Study Notes
- An FM system is used for RF telemetry applications.
- The output of each transducer modulates the frequency of a voltage-controlled subcarrier oscillator.
- Multiple oscillators are mixed for radio transmission.
- FM modulator (discriminator) is used at the receiving station.
- The discriminator output voltage changes as the measurement value changes.
- The VCO operates at a central frequency of 400 Hz and deviates +7.5% from the central frequency.
- The output of VCO varies between 370 Hz and 430 Hz.
- The discriminator senses frequency variations and converts them into appropriate voltage.
- The output of the discriminator is calibrated into a display of 01 to 30001.
- This system can be used to indicate the liquid level in a tank located far away.
