FREQUENCY MODULATOR-VARIABLE FREQUENCY GENERATOR

摘要

A frequency modulator/variable frequency source employs an electronically programmable divider in the feedback path of a phase locked loop. The phase locked loop is stabilized by the output of a fixed frequency oscillator. The effective divider modulus is directly determined by a variable duty cycle signal which alternately switches the divider between two characteristic count capacities with relative dwell periods determined by a modulating potential.
