74FM is short for Frequency Modulation; the information then is encapsulated in the frequency deviation from a center frequency Creating FM is not very difficult if you use an oscillator with an electronically controllable oscillation frequency that hence creates fosc(vin). Detecting FM is more complicated. One way is reusing the transmitter’s voltage controlled oscillator in the feedback path around a stage that has a transfer function A = vout(Δf) with high gain. The system transfer is then approximately the reciprocal of the transfer of the feedback path, vout fosc1(f in) and hence vout = vin.
