MT Demodulate FM
Performs frequency demodulation on the incoming I/Q signal.
Inputs/Outputs
FM modulated waveform
The baseband (downconverted) time-domain data for demodulation.
t0
The trigger (start) time of the acquired signal.
Default value: 0.0
dt
Time interval between data points in the acquired signal.
Default value: 1.0
Y
The complex-valued time-domain data array. The real and imaginary parts of this complex data array correspond to the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) data, respectively.
FM deviation
A value that indicates whether to scale the FM demodulated waveform. You can set this value to 1.0 or to the expected frequency deviation of the incoming FM signal for demodulation.
- Set this value to 1.0 to return an FM demodulated waveform parameter with no scaling. In this case, the maximum amplitude, in hertz (Hz), of the FM demodulated waveform parameter is equal to the actual frequency deviation of the incoming FM signal.
- Set this value equal to the expected frequency deviation of the incoming FM signal to divide the FM demodulated waveform parameter value by this value. You can use the resulting scaled FM demodulated waveform to quantify the degree of error between the expected frequency deviation and the actual frequency deviation.
carrier correction?
A Boolean that determines whether to enable carrier correction.
| TRUE | Determines a linear correction to the carrier frequency estimate and compensates for it in the FM demodulated waveform. |
| FALSE | Carrier correction is not enabled. Use this option when performing continuous acquisition. |
Default value: FALSE
error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Default value: No error
reset?
A Boolean that determines initialization of internal node states. The differentiation step of the demodulation process uses a three-tap FIR filter and involves a transient response.
| TRUE | Resets the initial state of the filter to zero at each call to this node. |
| FALSE | The differentiation begins with the filter in its final state from the previous call to this node. |
Default value: FALSE
remove transient when reset?
A Boolean that determines whether to truncate the first several samples of the FM demodulated waveform parameter when the node has been reset (for example, on first call or when reset? is set to TRUE.)
Default value: FALSE
FM demodulated waveform
The frequency-demodulated information signal.
carrier offset
The offset, in hertz (Hz), between the incoming modulated carrier frequency and the estimated carrier frequency.
error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
FM Demodulation
This node computes the information signal as a result of a demodulation process, which takes place in two steps internally. First the incoming I/Q data is phase-demodulated, and then the result of this phase demodulation is differentiated using a software FIR with three taps. The node returns the information signal in the FM demodulated waveform.
