The phase angle of a sinusoidal carrier signal is varied according to the modulating signal. Angle Modulation It is the other way to modulate signal. It modulates the angle of the carrier wave. It provides better discrimination against noise and interference. An angle-modulated signal can be expressed as s(t ) = Ac cos i (t ) Where Ac is carrier amplitude. The complete oscillation occurs whenever i(t) changes 2. Two common ways in which i(t) varies: In Phase Modulation (PM) the angle i(t) is varied linearly with the message signal m(t) i (t ) = 2f c t + k p m(t ) The term 2 fc represents the unmodulated carrier and kp represents the phase sensitivity of the modulator.

PM and FM differ only by a possible integration or differentiation of
the modulating signal. Then we obtain : From the equation

▪ If we differentiate the modulating signal mp(t) and frequency-
modulate using the differentiated signal, we get a PM signal
▪ If we integrate the modulating signal mf(t) and phase-
modulate using the integrated signal, we get an FM signal INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Seppo Horsmanheimo 10 /26 23/01/2021 Con’t In Frequency modulation (FM) the instantaneous frequency fi(t) is varied linearly with the message signal m(t) f i (t ) = f c + k f m(t ) The term fc is the frequency of the unmodulated carrier and the constant kf is the frequency sensitivity.
PM and FM signal have no longer a perfect regularity in their spacing; zero
crossings refer to the instants of time at which a waveform changes from a negative to a positive value or vice versa.
The other important difference is that the envelope of PM or FM is
constant whereas the envelope of an AM signal is dependent on the message signal.

23/01/2021 Transmission of FM Signals In theory a FM signal contains an infinite number of side frequencies so that the bandwidth required to transmit such a signal is similarly infinite. In practice the FM signal is effectively limited to a finite number of significant side frequencies compatible with a specified amount of distortion. There is an approximate rule for the transmission bandwidth of an FM signal generated by a single-tone modulating signal of frequency fm 1 BT = 2f + 2 f m = 2f (1 + ) where is the modulation index and f is the frequency deviation. This empirical relation is known as Carson's rule.
