I didnt quite understand te following:
A basic PLL consists of the following parts:
- phase detector
- low pass filter
- VCO
If you input a 1MHz sine the PLL will try to lock on it by controlling the VCO. According to what i've found it's possible to demodulate a FM modulated signal.
Assume:
Input signal for example: (Carrier: 1Mhz sine and signal of 50Khz). you get 2 side-band frequenties with the carrier frequention (0.95Mhz, 1.0Mhz and 1.05Mhz).
I want to demodulate the 50Khz signal from the input signal.
From what i've found a DC signal from the Phase Detector is fed to the VCO to keep the PLL locked to the input frequency. My assumption was (i might be wrong) that when you input a signal with multiple frequency components the PLL keeps "re-locking" and the DC voltage fed to the VCO is the same as the difference of the frequention components of my input signal (so 1.0Mhz - 0.95Mhz = 50Khz).
edit:
Ye, there are some misconceptions in my story. With AM modulation you get the frequency components i was talking about (Dual Side-Band Full Carrier).
With FM modulation you have the following formula:
\$v_c\$ = carrier, \$v_m\$ = modulator
\$v_c = V_c \sin(2 \pi f_c t)\$
\$v_m = V_m \sin(2 \pi f_m t)\$
\$f_c\$ depends on the modulator voltage so \$f_c = f_c + k*v_m\$, where k is a amplifier factor.
the complete formula becomes:
\$v = V_c \sin(2 \pi (f_c + k v_m) t) \rightarrow v = V_c \sin(2 \pi (f_c + k V_m \sin(2 \pi f_m t)) t)\$
