Abstract

A frequency demodulator which comprises a digital FM demodulating circuit for demodulating an inputted FM signal and outputting a digital demodulated signal, a discriminator for discriminating whether or not the value of the digital demodulated signal from the digital FM demodulating circuit deviates from an upper limit value or a lower limit value set for a normal demodulating range, and a circuit operable on the basis of a result of the discrimination performed by the discriminator for replacing the value of the demodulated signal deviating from the upper limit value or the lower limit value with a compensation value set to a value approximating the upper limit value in the case where the inputted FM signal which has been demodulated is of a type having upper and lower side-bands suppressed and emphasized, respectively, or with a compensation value set to a value approximating the lower limit value in the case where the inputted FM signal which has been demodulated is of a type having upper and lower side-bands emphasized and suppressed, respectively.
