ABSTRACT:
In a frequency modulator, a VCO oscillates at a frequency according to a voltage applied to an input terminal. A divider divides an output signal of the VCO. A phase comparator compares the output of the divider with a reference clock signal and outputs a voltage corresponding to a phase difference. A loop filter is provided on a path leading from an output terminal of the phase comparator to the input terminal of the VCO, and the loop filter removes a high-frequency component of an output voltage of the phase comparator. A terminal for inputting a modulation signal is provided in the loop filter, separately from a terminal connected with the path leading from the output terminal of the phase comparator to the input terminal of the VCO.
