 Introduction
 Angle modulation is another significance process of
message transmission.
 The frequency modulation has an important advantage over
AM i.e. interference due to noise is considerably reduced.
 This advantage of noise immunity is at the cost of increased
bandwidth ,hence a less no. of channel can be
accommodated in a given frequency band.
 Angle modulation is the process of varying the total phase
angle (frequency or phase) of a carrier wave in accordance
with the instantaneous value of the message signal, keeping
amplitude of the carrier constant.
 Introduction……..
 An unmodulated carrier is given by
φ (t)= A cos(c t+ϴ0)………………Eq.(1)
φ (t)= A cos(ψ) ………………Eq.(2)
 where ,ψ= (c t+ϴ0) is the total angle of the carrier wave.
 The eqution No. (2) φ (t)= A cos(ψ) may be considered
as the real part of a rotating phasor = Aejψ

φ (t)=Re [Aejψ]=A Re [cos ψ +j sin ψ]= A cos(ψ)

 The phasor rotates at a constant angular velocity c
provided ϴ0 is independent of time.
 The constant angular velocity c of phasor is related to its
total angle ψ(t) of the carrier wave is derived below :
ψ= (c t+ϴ0)
 Differentiating the above equation , (dψ/dt)= c


 Introduction………..
 This derivative is constant with time an unmodulated carrier. The time
dependent angular velocity is called instantaneous angular velocity,
denoted by (dψ/dt)= i
 ψ=∫ i dt , i is time dependent
 Angle modulation is classified into two types such as
◦ Frequency modulation (FM):In frequency modulation the
amplitude and phase of carrier is kept constant and the frequency of
the carrier signal is varied in accordance with the instantaneous
value of modulating signal.
◦ Phase modulation (PM): In phase modulation the amplitude and
frequency of carrier is kept constant and the phase of the carrier
signal is varied in accordance with the instantaneous value of
modulating signal.
 Application :
◦ Commercial radio broadcasting
◦ Television sound transmission
◦ Two way mobile radio
◦ Cellular radio
◦ Microwave and satellite communication system

Phase & frequency modulation
The time dependent angular velocity i of phasor provides a time
varying instantaneous frequency fi of carrier wave φ (t).
The frequency of carrier wave changes from one cycle to another .
 Phase and Frequency Deviation
Phase Deviation: In the waveform of Eq. A cos[c t+ϴ (t)] the maximum value
attained by, that is, the maximum Phase Deviation of the total angle from the
carrier angle c t ,is called the Phase Deviation. Δ ϴ =β
Frequency Deviation: The maximum change in instantaneous frequency i from
the average value i.e carrier frequency c is known as Frequency Deviation.
The Frequency Deviation can be derived as
i =dψ/dt= (d/dt)[c t+kf ∫ m(t)dt ]

i =c+kf m (t)
i -c=kf m (t)

The maximum change in instantaneous frequency i from the average value c

will be depend on the magnitude and sign of kf m (t).
Thus.Δ=| kf m (t)|max
If m (t)=Emcos mt ,so Δ=| kf Emcos mt|max
|cos mt|max = 1 , Δ= kf Em
Frequency sensitivity kf = Δ/Em radian per volt
.

Types of Frequency Modulation

The BW of an FM signal depends on Frequency Deviation kf m (t).
When deviation is high, the BW will be large and vice-versa.
BW will depends on Frequency sensitivity kf
If kf is too small then the BW will be narrow and vice-versa.
 The FM can be classified into two types depending upon frequency
sensitivity kf

1. Narrowband Frequency Modulation

2. Wide band Frequency Modulation
 Narrowband Frequency Modulation
 When kf is too small then the BW will be narrow and same as that of AM.
 The general expression for FM in the phasor form is given by
 = Aej[c t +kf m(t)]
 For NBFM, kf g(t)<< 1 for all values of t

 ej[kf m(t)] = 1+j kf m(t)

 So, =Re {A[1+j kf m(t)] ej[c t] }

 φ (t)= Re{A[1+j kf m(t)] [cos c t +j sin c t ]} =[Acos c t - j A kf m(t) sin c t]

 Similarly , NWPM is given by φ (t)= [Acos c t - j A kf m(t) sin c t]
 The expression of FM and PM is similar to AM with slight modification.
 m(t)= ∫ g(t)dt
 F.T{ m(t)}=[G()]/j
 M()=[G()]/j
 If M() is band limited to m,then G() is also restricted to m
 Both FM and PM expression have carrier and sideband terms similar to AM
expression except with differing phase relations between carrier and sideband terms
.this difference makes the amplitude of FM constant.

 NBFM signal
 The modulating signal is given by m(t)=Emcos m t
 The carrier signal is given by Acos c t
 The instantaneous frequency of the resulting modulated signal can be
obtained by i = c + kf m(t) = c + kf Emcos m t
 Frequency Deviation Δ= kf Em
 i = c + Δ cos m t
 The phase angle of the modulated signal can be obtained by integrating
 ψi = ∫i dt = ∫[c + Δ cos m t ]dt
 ψi = [c t + (Δ/m) sin m t ]
 ψi = [c t + β sin m t ]
 where β=(Δ/m)= (kf Em/m)
 β is known as modulation index of FM wave. It is a ratio of frequency
deviation to the modulating frequency. The modulation index plays an
important role in deciding the BW of FM system.
 NBFM signal
 . The FM signal is given by φ (t)= A cos(ψi )
 So,φ (t)= A cos(c t + β sin m t )
 The maximum change in the total phase angle from the center phase angle
c t is called the Phase Deviation. Δ ϴ =β radians
 Relationship between Phase and Frequency Deviation Δ ϴ =(Δ/m)= β
 The modulation index β decides whether an FM is a NBFM or a WBFM
because it is directly proportional to Frequency Deviation Δ.
 β=0.5 is the transition point between NBFM and WBFM.
 The expression of NBFM is
 φ (t)= A cos c t -A kf g(t) sin c t
 g(t)= ∫ m(t)dt
 m(t)=Emcos m
 g(t)= ∫ Emcos m t dt= (Em /m) sinm t
 So, φ (t)= A cos c t -A kf (Em /m) sinm t sin c t
 φ (t)= A cos c t -A ma cosm t cos c t

 φ AM(t)= A cos c t +(A ma /2) [cos(c +m )t + cos(c -m )t]
 φ FM(t)= A cos c t + (A β/2) [cos(c +m )t - cos(c -m )t]
 Consider a coordinate system rotating CCW at an angular frequency c
The carrier is fixed and is aligned in a horizontal direction.
 The sideband phasor rotate at an angular velocity m relative to the carrier
and in opposite directions to each other..
 In AM ,the resultant amplitude of the carrier varies as the sideband vector
rotates.
 The phasor of the NBFM is shown in figure.The only difference is that
the LSB phasor is reversed(opposite) as compared to the LSB phasor AM.
 The net resultant yieldsthe same amplitude as the unmodulated,i.e,OA’=
OB’.The resultant of two sidebands in NBFM is alwayes perpendicular to
carrier phasor,whereas in AM the resultant of two sidebands is alwayes
parallel .

 By using the first property of Bessel function the FM signal is given by
 φ (t)= )= AJ0 (β) cos(c t) - AJ1 (β)[ cos(c -m )t - cos(c +m )t]+A J2 (β) )[
FM

cos(c -2m )t + cos(c +2m )t]- AJ3 (β) )[ cos(c -3m )t - cos(c +3m
)t]+…………
 The following observations are made from the above equation:
 1.Frequency Components :(a) the FM signal has a carrier term cos ct with
magnitude AJ0 (β).The maximum value of J0 (β) is 1 when β =0.(No
modulation condition).the carrier term is absent at β =2.4,5.52and so on for
which J0 (β) is zero. Therefore the magnitude of carrier is reduced by a
factor J0 (β) .
 (b) Theoretically infinite no.s of sidebands are produced and the amplitude
of each sideband is dependent upon the corresponding Bessel function
Jn (β).The sidebands with small amplitudes are ignored. The sidebands
having considerable amplitudes are known as significant sidebands. They
are finite in numbers.
  WideBand FM
 The following observations are made from the above equation:
 2.Narrowband FM :(a) For a small value of β(less than 0.6),only J0 (β) and
J1 (β) are significant, and the higher terms are negligible. Thus, FM signal
has a carrier term NBFM.
3.Power content in FM signal: Since the amplitude of FM remains unchanged,
the power of the FM signal is same as that of unmodulated carrier.The
Parseval’s theorem sates that the total power of the signal is equal to the
sum of the power of individual components present in it.beacuse the
summation of in below equation yields unity.Thus the FM power is same
as that of the unmodulated carrier.

4.Transmission efficiency:
  WideBand FM
4.Transmission efficiency: In FM, out of the total power A2/2,the power caried
by the carrier term depends on the value of J0 (β) , and the power carried by a
sideband depends on the value of corresponding J0 (β) .If we adjust β 2.4,5.52,
or any such value so that, J0 (β) = 0, then the power carried by the carrier term
in the FM signal will be zero. All the power being carricd by the sidebands
provides a 100per cent transmission efficiency. For other values of β some
power is carried by the carrier also, and efficiency is less than 100 per cent.
Therefore, by adjusting the value of β we can get FM efficiency much more
than AM is 33%, and may approach equal to the efficiency of AM-SC (i.c., 100
% ) . Thus, FM has the efficiency between AM and SC

 Some features of the Bessel coefficients

 The minimum antenna height required to transmit a baseband
signal of f = 3 kHz is calculated as follows : λ/4 = 25KM.The
antenna of this height is practically impossible to install .
Effect of the modulation index β on bandwidth
Spectrum of “constant bandwidth” FM
Transmission Bandwidth of FM waves:
An FM wave consists of infinite number of side bands so that the bandwidth is
theoretically infinite. But, in practice, the FM wave is effectively limited to a finite
number of side band frequencies compatible with a small amount of distortion. There
are many ways to find the bandwidth of the FM wave.
1. Carson’s Rule: In single–tone modulation, for the smaller values of modulation
index the bandwidth is approximated as 2fm. For the higher values of modulation
index, the bandwidth is considered as slightly greater than the total deviation 2Δf.
Thus the Bandwidth for sinusoidal modulation is defined as:

For non-sinusoidal modulation, a factor called Deviation ratio (D) is considered. The
deviation ratio is defined as the ratio of maximum frequency deviation to the
bandwidth of message signal.
Deviation ratio , D = ( Δf / W ), where W is the bandwidth of the message signal
and the corresponding bandwidth of the FM signal is,
BT = 2(D + 1) W
2. Universal Curve : An accurate method of bandwidth assessment is done by retaining
the maximum number of significant side frequencies with amplitudes greater than 1% of
the unmodulated carrier wave. Thus the bandwidth is defined as “the 99 percent
bandwidth of an FM wave as the separation between the two frequencies beyond which
none of the side-band frequencies is greater than 1% of the carrier amplitude obtained
when the modulation is removed”.
Transmission Bandwidth - BW = 2 nmax fm , (5.26)
where fm is the modulation frequency and ‘n’ is the number of pairs of side-frequencies
such that Jn( ) > 0.01. The value of nmax varies with modulation index and can be
determined from the Bessel coefficients. The table 5.2 shows the number of significant
side frequencies for different values of modulation index.
The transmission bandwidth calculated using this method can be expressed in the form
of a universal curve which is normalised with respect to the frequency deviation and
plotted it versus the modulation index. (Refer fig-5.7).
Table 5.2

From the universal curve, for a given message signal frequency and modulation index
the ratio (B/ Δf ) is obtained from the curve. Then the bandwidth is calculated as:

density and gives rise to FM with sidebands having

Frequency Multiplication Applied to FM signal
A frequency multiplier is a combination of nonlinear element and band pass filter. This can
be used to increase the deviation of FM.
 The frequency multiplier consists of a nonlinear device
followed by a band-pass filter. The nonlinear device used is a
memory less device. If the input to the nonlinear device is an
FM wave with frequency, fc and deviation, Δf1 then its output
v(t) will consist of dc component and ‘n’ frequency modulated
waves with carrier frequencies, fc, 2fc, 3fc, …… nfc and
frequency deviations a Δf1, 2Δf1 , 3Δf1 , ........ nΔf1
respectively.
 The band pass filter is designed in such a way that it passes
the FM wave centered at the frequency, nfc with frequency
deviation nΔf1 and to suppress all other FM components.
Thus the frequency multiplier can be used to generate a wide
band FM wave from a narrow band FM wave.

FM Generation : Parameter variation method

Voltage Controlled
Oscillator (VCO) :

The principal difficulty here is to maintain a stable carrier

Frequency over extended period of time.
 FM generation: Parameter-variation method

Generation of WBFM using Indirect Method:

Ininfff method a NBFM wave is generated first and frequency multiplication is
next used to increase the frequency deviation to the desired level. The narrow band FM
wave is generated using a narrow band phase modulator and an oscillator. The narrow
band FM wave is then passed through a frequency multiplier to obtain the wide band
FM wave, as shown in the fig:(5.9). The crystal controlled oscillator provides good
frequency stability. But this scheme does not provide both the desired frequency
deviation and carrier frequency at the same time. This problem can be solved by using
multiple stages of frequency multiplier and a mixer stage.
FM Generation : Armstrong’s
indirect method

The difficulty with parameter variation method is avoided.

Crystal is the carrier source.
 Generation of WBFM by Armstrong’s Method:
 Armstrong method is an indirect method of FM generation. It is
used to generate FM signal having both the desired frequency
deviation and the carrier frequency. In this method, two-stage
frequency multiplier and an intermediate stage of frequency
translator is used, as shown in the fig:(5.10). The first multiplier
converts a narrow band FM signal into a wide band signal. The
frequency translator, consisting of a mixer and a crystal controlled
oscillator shifts the wide band signal to higher or lower frequency
band. The second multiplier then increases the frequency deviation
and at the same time increases the center frequency also. The main
design criteria in this method are the selection of multiplier gains
and oscillator frequencies. This is explained in the following steps.
Example of an Armstrong FM system
Design Steps: How to choose n1 and n2
for the given specifications?
 Step1. Select the value of β < 0.5 for the narrow band phase modulator.
This value limits the harmonic distortion by NBPM to minimum.
 Step 2. The requirement is that the frequency deviation produced by the
lowest modulation frequencies is raised to required Δf. So choose the
frequency deviation of NBFM, Δf1 by selecting the minimum value of fm
 Δf1 = β fm (min). ---- (a)
 Step 3. Frequency Multipliers change the frequency deviation. Hence the
total change in the frequency deviation is product of the two deviations:
 n1.n2 = Δf / Δf1 ----- (b)
 Step 4. Frequency Translator (mixer & oscillator) will not change the
frequency deviation, it only shifts the FM signal to either upwards and
downwards in the spectrum. The output of mixer is
 For down ward translation: fc = n2 (f2 - n1. f1 ) ---- (c)
 and for upward translation: fc = n2 (n1. f1 - f2).
 Step 5. Choose suitable value for f2 and solve the equations (b) and (c)
simultaneously to find the multiplying factors n1and n2.

 Where
 Thus the instantaneous frequency fi(t) is defined as: 4.5...2cos)( 0 t ffftf m
i
 The term, Δf represents the frequency deviation and the relation with Δc is
given by: Thus the output of the oscillator will be an FM wave. But the
direct method of generation has the disadvantage that the carrier frequency
will not be stable as it is not generated from a highly stable oscillator.
 Generally, in FM transmitter the frequency stability of the modulator is
achieved by the use of an auxiliary stabilization circuit as shown in the
fig.(5.12). Fig: 5.12 – Frequency stabilized FM modulator.
 The output of the FM generator is applied to a mixer together with the
output of crystal controlled oscillator and the difference is obtained. The
mixer output is applied to a frequency discriminator, which gives an output
voltage proportional to the instantaneous frequency of the FM wave
applied to its input. The discriminator is filtered by a low pass filter and
then amplified to provide a dc voltage. This dc voltage is applied to a
voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) to modify the frequency of the
oscillator of the FM generator. The deviations in the transmitter carrier
frequency from its assigned value will cause a change in the dc voltage in
a way such that it restores the carrier frequency to its required
Advantages and disadvantages of FM
over AM:
 Advantages of FM over AM are:
 1. Less radiated power.
 2. Low distortion due to improved signal to noise ratio (about 25dB) w.r.t.
to man made interference.
 3. Smaller geographical interference between neighboring stations.
 4. Well defined service areas for given transmitter power.
 Disadvantages of FM:
 1. Much more Bandwidth (as much as 20 times as much).
 2. More complicated receiver and transmitter.
 Applications:
 Some of the applications of the FM modulation are listed below:
 I. FM Radio,(88-108 MHz band, 75 kHz, )
