Study Notes
Angle Modulation
- Angle modulation is a type of modulation that includes Frequency Modulation (FM) and Phase Modulation (PM)
- In FM, the carrier frequency deviates with changes in the frequency of the message signal
- In PM, the carrier frequency deviates with changes in the phase of the message signal
Frequency Modulation (FM)
- FM is a type of angle modulation
- The carrier frequency deviates with changes in the frequency of the message signal
- Frequency deviation is the change in frequency from the center frequency
- Modulation index (MI) is the ratio of frequency deviation to the message signal frequency
Phase Modulation (PM)
- PM is a type of angle modulation
- The carrier frequency deviates with changes in the phase of the message signal
- The modulation index (MI) is used to calculate the frequency deviation
Demodulation
- Demodulation is the process of recovering the original message signal from the modulated carrier signal
- A discriminator or frequency detector is used to demodulate FM signals

Modulation and Demodulation
- Modulation is the process of changing a characteristic of a high-frequency carrier signal based on the low-frequency message signal.
- Demodulation is the reverse process of modulation, extracting the original message signal from the modulated carrier signal.
- A product detector, quadrature detector, and envelope detector are devices that perform demodulation.
Balanced Modulator
- A balanced modulator is a device that removes the lower sideband (LSB) from a double sideband (DSB) signal, producing a single sideband (SSB) signal.
- A balanced modulator can also be used to remove the carrier signal from a modulated signal, producing an SSB signal.
Frequency Modulation
- Frequency modulation is a type of angle modulation where the frequency of the carrier signal is varied in accordance with the message signal.
