Phase modulation
Frequency modulation
The carrier amplitude remains constant during the
modulation process, but its frequency varies in accordance
with the modulating signal.
An increase in the amplitude of the modulating signal causes
the instantaneous frequency of the carrier to increase.
FM is used in many broadcasting systems.
It offers much better noise immunity, but it comes at the
expense of increased complexity in the transmitter /
receiver.

NBFM
The analysis shows that the spectrum of a NBFM
signal is very similar to that of a normal AM
signal:
It has two side bands on either side of the
carrier;
The total bandwidth is 2*fm

= f / fm = 75 / 15 = 5 ---- WBFM
BW = 2(f + fm) = 180 KHz

FM versus AM
Advantages of FM:
Less radiated power.
Low distortion due to improved signal to noise ratio
Smaller geographical interference between
neighbouring stations.
Well defined service areas for given transmitter
power.
Dis-advantages of FM:
Much more Bandwidth (as much as 20 times as
much).
More complicated receiver and transmitter

Generation of FM signals
There are two basic methods of generating FM
waves:
Direct method, and
Indirect method.
