3. Eeng 360 3 Angle Modulation  We have seen that an AM signal can be represented as  Now we will see that information can also be carried in the angle of the signal as Note that in this type of modulation the amplitude of signal carries information. Here the amplitude A c remains constant and the angle is modulated. This Modulation Technique is called the Angle Modulation Angle modulation: Vary either the Phase or the Frequency of the carrier signal  Phase Modulation and Frequency Modulation are special cases of Angle Modulation

4. Eeng 360 4 Angle Modulation Representation of PM and FM signals: The Complex Envelope for an Angle Modulation is given by Is a constant Real envelope, θ(t) - linear function of the modulating signal m(t) The Angle-modulated Signal in time domain is given by g(t) - Nonlinear function of the modulation. Special Case 1: For PM the phase is directly proportional to the modulating signal. i.e.; Where D p is the Phase sensitivity of the phase modulator, having units of radians/volt. Special Case 2: For FM, the phase is proportional to the integral of m(t) so that where the frequency deviation constant D f has units of radians/volt-sec.

5. Eeng 360 5 Angle Modulation Resulting PM wave:  Phase Modulation occurs when the instantaneous phase varied in proportion to that of the message signal. Dp is the phase sensitivity of the modulator  Frequency Modulation occurs when the instantaneous frequency is varied linearly with the message signal. Resulting FM wave: D f is the frequency deviation constant  Instantaneous Frequency (f i ) of a signal is defined by

6. Eeng 360 6 Phase and Frequency Modulations Phase Modulation Frequency Modulation Comparing above two equations, we see that if we have a PM signal modulated by m p (t), there is also FM on the signal, corresponding to a different modulation wave shape that is given by: Similarly if we have a FM signal modulated by m f (t), the corresponding phase modulation on this signal is: Where f and p denote frequency and phase respectively.

12. Eeng 360 12 Spectra of Angle modulated signals  Spectra for AM, DSB-SC, and SSB can be obtained with simple formulas relating S(f) to M(f).  But for angle modulation signaling, because g(t) is a nonlinear function of m(t). Thus, a general formula relating G(f) to M(f) cannot be obtained.  To evaluate the spectrum for angle-modulated signal, G(f) must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for particular modulating waveshape of interest.

17. Eeng 360 17  The FM modulated signal in time domain  From this equation it can be seen that the frequency spectrum of an FM waveform with a sinusoidal modulating signal is a discrete frequency spectrum made up of components spaced at frequencies of  c ± n  m.  By analogy with AM modulation, these frequency components are called sidebands.  We can see that the expression for s(t) is an infinite series. Therefore the frequency spectrum of an FM signal has an infinite number of sidebands.  The amplitudes of the carrier and sidebands of an FM signal are given by the corresponding Bessel functions, which are themselves functions of the modulation index Observations: Frequency spectrum of FM
