Describe and explain the differences between frequency and phase modulation and show the relationship between the two. 2 Introduction Three parameters can modulated with information signal Amplitude Frequency Phase Phase and frequency changes are related, so we group them together in term angle modulation 3 Introduction In FM, frequency of modulated signal varies with amplitude of baseband signal. In PM, phase of modulated signal varies with amplitude of baseband signal. In angle modulation amplitude of carrier signal doesn’t change with modulation. 4 Introduction FM is more familiar in our daily life: Radio broadcast Sound signal in TV Mobile radio system Satellite communications Cellular telephone systems. PM is less familiar and mostly used in data communication 5 . There are two methods to vary the angle linearly with message signal Frequency modulation (FM) Phase modulation (PM) 6 . s (t ) Ec sin 2 f c t 0 Ec sin (t ) (t ) 2 f c t 0 for simplicity we consider 0 = 0.Basic Definitions Let the unmodulated carrier a sinusoidal waveform. f sig (t ) f c k f em (t ) f c f fsig(t) = signal frequency as a function of time fc = unmodulated carrier frequency kf = frequency sensitivity of modulator in hertz per volt em(t) = modulating signal f = instantaneous frequency deviation 7 . frequency of modulated signal varies with amplitude of baseband signal.Frequency Modulation (FM) In FM. frequency deviation is f sig (t ) f c sin m t 8 .Frequency Modulation (FM) If the modulating signal is a sine wave em (t ) Em sin m t then f sig (t ) f c k f Em sin m t The peak frequency deviation (Hz) will be k f Em Thus.

Henceforth. 20 . mp or mf represent peak phase deviation from the phase of unmodulated carrier.

Next.FM Spectrum FM is nonlinear modulation so its spectrum is not related in a simple manner to that of modulating signal. To simplify FM spectral analysis we proceed in the following manner: First. that that 24 . frequency deviation is f sig (t ) f c sin m t 25 .FM Spectrum If the modulating signal is a sine wave em (t ) Em sin m t then f sig (t ) f c k f Em sin m t The peak frequency deviation (Hz) will be k f Em Thus. the instantaneous frequency is f sig (t ) f c sin m t Since t (t ) 2 f sig (t )dt 0 t (t ) 2 f c sin(2 f m t ) dt 2 f c t 0 cos(2 f m t ) fm 2 f c t m f cos(2 f m t ) 26 .FM Spectrum With FM. 27 . the FM signal is given by s (t ) Ec sin 2 f ct m f cos(2 f mt ) Depending on the value of mf. for which mf is large compared to one. for which mf is small compared to one ( m f 1). Wideband FM. we may distinguish two cases: Narrowband FM.FM Spectrum Thus. we get m f sin(2 f m t ) s (t ) Ec sin 2 f ct cos m f sin(2 f mt Ec cos 2 f c t sin Assuming mf is small compared to one radian.FM Spectrum Narrowband FM sin( x y ) sin x cos y cos x sin y The FM signal is given by s (t ) Ec sin 2 f ct m f cos(2 f mt ) By expanding this relation. cos m f sin 2 f mt 1 sin m f sin 2 f mt m f sin(2 f mt ) s (t ) Ec sin 2 f c t m f Ec cos 2 f c t sin(2 f mt ) 28 . FM Spectrum Narrowband FM Because s (t ) Ec sin 2 f c t m f Ec cos 2 f ct sin(2 f mt ) 1 cos x sin y sin x y sin x y 2 s (t ) Ec sin(2 f ct ) 1 m f Ec sin 2 ( f c f m )t sin 2 ( f c f m )t 2 This expression is similar to AM signal. Thus for m f a1narrowband FM signal requires the same transmission bandwidth as the AM signal (2 fm) 29 . Sideband are separated from carrier by multiple of fm. Amplitude of side bands tends to decrease with their distance from carrier. Sidebands with amplitudes less than 1% of total signal voltage can be ignored.FM Spectrum Wideband FM For mf >> 1.

For FM. 40 . The above two effects work in opposite directions making FM bandwidth to some extend constant.FM Spectrum Bandwidth For FM. situation is complicated by the fact mf fm Increase in fm will reduce mf and thus number of sidebands. bandwidth varies directly with fm as well as with mf. Increase in fm means further apart sidebands in frequency. FM Spectrum Bandwidth 41 . Using Cason’s rule calculate the bandwidth.FM Spectrum Bandwidth Carson’s Rule: The bandwidth of FM signal is given by B 2 f m max Example: An FM signal has a deviation of 3 kHz and a modulating frequency of 1 kHz.
