No.hi, i just want to know, is this circuit called Diode Charge Pump AM-FM Demodulators? thanks
Hello Sir, i thought is Diode Charge Pump AM-FM Demodulators because i have some tutorial and i understand and i know the value of components to select ok ,in other words i know to configure components,, but what for demodulator is this circuit? how they call it to search in google maybe i can find some toturials thnx…….
Thank you ver much man, that i just want it to know it,Actually, this is indeed a diode charge pump FM detector, but it is not a very effective type. And it does need a very well limited input signal to deliver any reasonable output.
The IF used here is about 120kHzThe NPN transistors are wrongly shown as PNP.
I have seen many AM-FM radio circuits but have never seen one with a charge pump.
The 0.01uF value of C28 is so high that it will completely kill the 10.7MHz of an FM IF amplifier. It might be OK for AM.
C28 is the pulse integrating capacitor, not for de-emphasis. The charge pump circuit is not used in broadcast receivers because it is not as easy to make it in production, since the tolerance of some parts is a bit picky. That is why most folks are not familiar with it.C28 is probably used for de-emphasis but it is wrong for the FM broadcast band:
FM detectors that are immune to interference are a very interesting challenge for those who build receivers that include detectors for FM, especially fairly narrow FM, such as is used in amateur radio communications. Most commercially available discriminator and ratio detector transformers are for 10.7 MHz while most ham receivers use other frequencies for their final IF. And while there are lots of explanations around as to how they work, creating an optimized transformer for either is not a small task.This is why the PLL FM detector is often a better choice, although the quadrature detector is much more common, because it works and it is cheaper and simpler.Michael has been talking about broadcast band FM radio detectors here and on other websites.
Hi Jjw, i realy dont understand, en what is pulse FM detector, MisterBill2 he say iit is diode charge pump FM detector?It is a pulse counting FM detector.

Hello MisterBill2, is this circuis Diode charge pump, you told one time, but Jjw say that is pulse COUNTING?C28 is the pulse integrating capacitor, not for de-emphasis.

That is why most folks are not familiar with it.
And yes, those transistors are actually NPN devices, the emitters are simply drawn wrong.
Hello AudioGuru how are you, long time ;-), that is true for fm, but i found one site, that he explain eveything to make a receiver. greetings.Michael has been talking about broadcast band FM radio detectors here and on other websites.
Yes, the charge pump provides the counting by integrating the power delivered by each pulse of the carrier, as the pulse spacing varies with frequency. So it is indeed a counter, but not a digital counter. It is a pulse power integrating sort of counter.Hello MisterBill2, is this circuis Diode charge pump, you told one time, but Jjw say that is pulse COUNTING?
Thank you MisterBill2, for explanation………….Yes, the charge pump provides the counting by integrating the power delivered by each pulse of the carrier, as the pulse spacing varies with frequency. So it is indeed a counter, but not a digital counter. It is a pulse power integrating sort of counter.
