Abstract

See full text

The baseband input to a frequency modulation transmitter is switchably connectable to a square wave generator, the amplitude of the square wave output being adjusted to provide a predetermined deviation of the FM radio transmitter. The output frequency of a pilot oscillator is also applied to the baseband input and it is subjected to phase modulation because of group delay which exists in the system and which adversely affects the signal during transmission through the system. At the receiving end of the radio system, the receiver output obtains the pilot signal which has been phase modulated by the group delay slope in the system, because of the square wave test signal. This phase modulation is detected in a phase lock loop, amplified, rectified and applied to a meter so as to provide an indication of the group delay slope in the system.
