FM and PM Modulation Techniques Explained

Frequency modulation (FM) is a modulation technique where the carrier frequency varies based on the analog baseband information signal being transmitted. FM has better noise immunity and can reject interfering signals compared to amplitude modulation. It has increased immunity to noise but requires a larger bandwidth. Applications include radio broadcasting and direct satellite broadcasting. Phase modulation (PM) is a technique where the carrier phase varies based to the information signal. PM produces frequency modulation since phase modulation results in a frequency modulation. It has increased immunity to noise but more complex receiver hardware. Applications include data communication systems.

Frequency Modulation(FM)

Frequency Modulation(FM) is the modulation technique in which carrier


frequency varies based on analog baseband information signal to be
transmitted using wireless device. Frequency modulation is considered to be
superior compare to the Amplitude modulation due to better noise immunity
and its ability to reject the interfering signals due to the capture effect.

Advantages, disadvantages and


applications of FM
• Advantages: Increased immunity to noise.

• Disadvantage: Requires larger bandwidth.

• Application: Radio Broadcasting, Direct Satellite Broadcasting


Phase Modulation(PM)
Phase Modulation(PM) is the modulation technique in which carrier phase
varies based on analog baseband information signal to be transmitted using
wireless device. If a constant amplitude as well as constant frequency sine
wave carrier is given to the phase shifter the output is phase modulated
signal. Phase modulation is referred as indirect frequency modulation due to
the fact that phase modulation produces frequency modulation. The effect of
variation in amount of phase shift is proportional to change in the carrier
frequency.

Advantages, disadvantages and


applications of PM
• Advantages: Increased immunity to noise.

• Disadvantages: More complex hardware at receiver.

• Applications: Used in data communication systems.
