Modulation is the process of superimposing a low frequency signal on a high frequency carrier signal. While changing the amplitude of a radio signal is the most obvious method to modulate it, it is by no means the only way. In practice, this modulation will not be perfect, and there will be some amplitude modulation remaining. Bpsk, qpsk, msk frequency shift keying, fsk quadrature amplitude modulation, qam.
Frequency modulation is widely used for fm radio broadcasting. Modulation exercises moreover, the amplitude 2 and phase 3 can be obtained from and the carrier signal as follows. However if st is sinusoidal, then the instantaneous frequency deviation of the anglemodulated signal is. Fmt for pm, the message mt does not need to be integrated. In frequency modulation fm, unlike am, the amplitude of the carrier is kept constant, but its frequency is altered in accordance with variations in the audio signal being sent.
