Abstract
The disclosure is directed to an improved FM demodulating circuit which is simple in circuit construction, with a small number of parts required, and so arranged that in a quadrature detecting circuit, a plurality of piezoelectric resonators, for example, ceramic discriminators employed for a phase shift circuit are changed over by switching circuits for common use of parts other than the ceramic discriminators for the demodulation of the FM intermediate frequency signals.

In a quadrature detecting circuit which is so arranged that an FM intermediate frequency signal produced from an FM intermediate frequency amplifying circuit, and a signal obtained by subjecting the FM intermediate frequency signal to phase shifting through a phase shift circuit are respectively input to a multiplier so as to obtain an FM demodulating signal by a phase difference between these two signals, an FM demodulating circuit comprising DC blocking capacitors respectively inserted between said phase shift circuit and said FM intermediate frequency amplifying circuit, and between said phase shift circuit and said multiplier, said phase shift circuit including a plurality of piezoelectric resonators to be respectively tuned to different FM intermediate frequencies, and change-over circuits made of switching diodes and respectively connected between input and output sides of said piezoelectric resonators and said DC blocking capacitors.
