An RF carrier signal is frequency modulated by a modulating signal, as a function of the amplitude of the modulating signal. The number of cycles in the frequency modulated carrier is counted in a first counter during the positive half cycle of the modulating signal and in a second counter during the negative half cycle of the modulating signal. A microprocessor obtains the difference of the counts in the counters, and from the difference computes the deviation of the modulated carrier from the center frequency of the carrier. This is compared with a desired deviation and the microprocessor calculates and generates a correction signal to vary the amplitude of the modulating signal when the difference between the computed and desired deviation exceeds a predetermined value. An arrangement is also provided whereby, after a calibration procedure, an external source may provide the modulation signal.
