In this paper, the FM receiving demodulators used in the Echo experiment were described in terms of negative feedback applied to the local oscillator to reduce the FM modulation index in the receiver intermediate frequency amplifiers.
Abstract
The FM receiving demodulators used in the Echo experiment are described in this paper. These receivers have negative feedback applied to the local oscillator to reduce the FM modulation index in the receiver intermediate frequency amplifiers. This technique results in a threshold performance which is superior to that of a conventional FM receiver.

Decreasing the Threshold in FM by Frequency Feedback

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the stability of the feedback loop of a feedback demodulator is a function of the modulation, but that by following the procedure given, the effect can be almost entirely eliminated.

Theoretical Studies on Signal-to-Noise Characteristics of an FM System

TL;DR: In this paper, the essential signal-to-noise characteristics of an FM system are studied theoretically, assuming that the transmitted wave is frequency-modulated by a discontinuous signal, which is made by sampling from the original information signal at every sampling point equally spaced by a Nyquist interval and by boxcarring the sampled value over the following interval.

The FM demodulator with negative feedback

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the design and theory of operation of the wideband FM demodulator with feedback (FMFB receiver) used at the Andover, Maine, earth station for Telstar satellite communications tests.

A simple formula for the threshold characteristics of FM signals

O. Shimbo, +1 more
TL;DR: A simple formula for calculating the output S/N of an FM signal demodulated by an FM discriminator is obtained and it is shown that the authors' formula should be used rather than that of the click theory.

Design and Performance of a Broad-Band FM Demodulator with Frequency Compression

TL;DR: In this article, a broad-band FD demodulator is proposed for use in an intercontinental satellite communication system and is suitable for either television or telephone service, where the FD circuit details, performance data, and a measured comparison with FM are presented.

The application of negative feedback to frequency-modulation systems

TL;DR: In this article, negative feedback is applied to a frequency-modulation receiver of superheterodyne type by causing a portion of the output voltage to frequency modulate the local oscillator in such phase as to reduce the output signal.

Frequency-modulation: Theory of the feedback receiving circuit

TL;DR: This paper may be regarded both as a continuation of a prior one by the writer and Thornton C. Fry and as a companion of that by J. G. Chaffee the inventor of the circuit under consideration.

Amplitude modulation suppression in FM systems

TL;DR: A limiter analysis in terms of low-index modulation theory proves the possibility of perfect amplitude modulation suppression with small loss to the frequency modulated signal.
