Question A-005-006-005

What type of circuit varies the tuning of an amplifier tank circuit to produce FM signals?

Correct Answer

A phase modulator

Explanation

While direct FM can be produced by varying a tank circuit (e.g., with a varactor), phase modulation (PM) followed by integration effectively produces FM. Some PM schemes involve varying phase shifts in amplifier stages. This answer might be imprecise, as reactance modulators directly vary tank tuning for FM.
