Transmission circuit for modems employing frequency shift keying

摘要

An FSK modem transmission circuit which includes a modulator adapted to selectably produce pairs of low and high frequency carrier waves in any combination of up to five frequencies specified in international and U.S. standards. The modulator circuit includes a regenerative feedback loop which generates a triangular carrier wave at a frequency determined by the resistance of a resistor network having five different settings selected by switches therein controlled by the data signal and by logic control signals. The transmission circuit also includes a filter which modifies the waveform of the transmitted carrier wave to suppress odd harmonics thereof, thereby isolating the carrier wave from the modem receiver circuit which is coupled to the transmission circuit by a hybrid coupler.
