Angle Modulation
Introduction
There are three parameters of a
carrier that may carry information:
Amplitude
Frequency
Phase
Frequency and Phase modulation are
closely related and grouped together
as angle modulation

Instantaneous Frequency
Let us consider a generalized sinusoidal signal,
,where
is the generalized angle and is a function of t.
For
,,then the signal
Instantaneous frequency,

Exponential Modulation
Now we can transmit the information of a signal by varying the angle
For PM,
. Assuming,
,
The resulting PM wave is
PM instantaneous frequency is
Hence the instantaneous frequency varies linearly with the derivative of
modulating signal.
If the instantaneous frequency varies linearly with the modulating signal,
we have FM.
FM instantaneous frequency is
Now,
