Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately changing the differentiator doesn't seem affect much towards this problem. The problem is still a high noise floor that is inband.. However, I was able to confirm running the demod model by itself, or even using the same ADC but run a much lower carrier frequency (4.5MHz as opposed to 40.25MHz) both improves the SNR by a-lot (orders of improvements). But the targetted input frequency range of 40.25MHz is giving me the problems right now.> Don't use PLL oscillators like the field programmable ones you can buy with > a one day turnaround for sampling purposes.

I think it was 108MHz type and mentions a 50ppm frequency tolerance. Is it good/bad? Is it possible to infer the clock and sampling jitters from there? What would be a reasonable overall ADC jitter amount for sampling 30~40MHz and 40~50MHz range to perform FM demodulaton? Also, is there a way to model and simulate effects of sampling distortions via a software model? Thanks in advance.
