Digital FSK modulator

---

Abstract

---

A FSK modulator which uses the combination of a state machine and a toggle flip-flop to generate the FSK signals. The state machine has a loop having a predetermined number of states. The number of clock cycles that the state machine takes to traverse the loop depends on the state or level of the signal at the input to the modulator. The flip-flop converts the state machine output signal to a signal having a rectangular waveform.
