Foster-seeley discriminator block diagram symbols
Figure is a simplified schematic diagram of a ratio detector at resonance. The voltage applied to the cathode of CR1 is the vector sum of e1 and Ep. Likewise, the voltage applied to the anode of CR2 is the vector sum of e2 and Ep. No phase shift occurs at resonance and both voltages are equal. FOSTER-SEELEY DISCRIMINATOR The FOSTER-SEELEY DISCRIMINATOR is also known as the PHASE-SHIFT DISCRIMINATOR. It uses a double-tuned rf transformer to convert frequency variations in the received fm signal to amplitude variations. These amplitude variations are then rectified and filtered to provide a dc output voltage. A variation on the Foster-Seeley discriminator which combines the functions of the amplitude limiter and frequency discriminator is called the ratio detector [3]. Its performance however leaves much to be desired. Below resonance Above resonance Figure The amplitude-frequency characteristics of the Foster-Seeley discriminator. Figure
