Note 1: Modulation Index impact on BER measurement using MS-FM demodulator.
The graphic hereafter shows the impact of the modulation index using the MS-FM demodulator:
The
ratio has been set so that the BER =
with 0.7 Mod index.
Looking at the blue curve, the MS-FM demodulator operates in nominal mode (modulation index
forced to 0.7)
The modulation index of the transmitted PCM/FM signal has been changed around the 0.7 nominal
value. For each transmitter index value, the
ratio has been increased till the measured BER
is
.
- In the [0.67, 0.73] interval, MS-FM demodulator remains efficient.
- Outside this range, there is a significant BER degradation.
Looking at the red curve, the MS-FM demodulator is in auto mode (modulation index of received
signal estimated by the demodulator)
As for the blue curve, the transmitted modulation index has been changed and the
ratio has been
increased till the BER is
.
- MS-FM remains efficient over the entire range [0.6, 0.8]
