Angle modulation overview
In the last subtopic, we investigated the effect of slowly varying the
amplitude of a sinusoidal carrier wave in accordance with the
baseband signal.
There is another way of modulating a sinusoidal carrier wave,
namely, Angle Modulation in which the angle of the carrier wave is
varied according to the baseband signal.
In this method of modulation, the amplitude of the carrier wave is
maintained constant
An important feature of angle modulation is that it can provide better
discrimination against noise and interference than amplitude
modulation.
However, this improvement in performance is achieved at the
expense of increased transmission bandwidth; that is, angle
modulation provides us with a practical means of exchanging channel
bandwidth for improved noise performance. Such a tradeoff
is not possible with amplitude modulation, regardless of its form.

Basic definitions
Let denote the angle of a modulated sinusoidal carrier, assumed to
be a function of the message signal. We express the resulting angle-
modulated wave as
The term represents the angle of the unmodulated carrier; and the
constant represents the phase sensitivity of the modulator, expressed
in radians per volt on the assumption that m(t) is a voltage waveform.

Basic definitions(2)
The phase-modulated signal s(t) in the time domain is given by
DIT
Frequency Modulation
The FM signal s(t) is a nonlinear function of the modulating signal m(t),
which makes frequency modulation a nonlinear modulation process.
Consider then a sinusoidal modulating signal defined by
where

Frequency Modulation(2)
The angle of the FM signal is obtained as

FM Bandwidth and Carson’s Rule
Frequency Deviation: ∆f=kf max|m(t)|
Maximum deviation of fi from fc: fi=fc+kfm(t)
DIT
Example
In North America, the maximum value of frequency deviation is
fixed at 75 kHz for commercial FM broadcasting by radio. If we take
the modulation frequency W = 15 kHz,which is typically the
"maximum" audio frequency of interest in FM transmission, we find
that the corresponding value of the deviation ratio is

Narrowband FM
Expanding the relation FM signal resulting from the use of a sinusoidal
modulating signal, we get
and
hence

Narrowband FM(2)
The equation for narrowband FM signal can be expanded as

Generation of narrowband FM signal
This modulator involves splitting the carrier wave into two paths.
One path is direct; the other path contains a -90 degree phase-shifting network
and a product modulator, the combination of which generates a DSB-SC
modulated signal.
The difference between these two signals produces a narrowband FM signal,
but with some distortion.
DIT
Generation of wideband FM signal
There are two basic methods of generating frequency-modulated
signals by using Direct method and Indirect method

After band-pass filtering of the nonlinear device's output v(t), we have a new FM
signal defined by

In theory just need differentiator and envelope detection for FM.
Many techniques used in practice (mostly VCO).
