Study Notes

Frequency Modulation (FM)

Frequency sensitivity of an FM signal, denoted as kf, is measured in Hertz per unit of m(t).
Instantaneous frequency of an FM signal, fi(t), is the sum of the carrier frequency fc and the product of the frequency sensitivity kf and the modulating signal m(t).
Maximum change in instantaneous frequency fi from the carrier frequency fc is called frequency deviation, denoted as Δf, and is given by: Δf = kf Am.
Frequency deviation is used to determine the bandwidth of FM signals.
Modulation index, denoted as β, quantifies the deviation of the instantaneous frequency from the carrier frequency, and is given by: β = kf Am / fm.
For a non-sinusoidal signal, the modulation index is given by: β = kf m(t)max / W, where W is the bandwidth of the message signal.
In the frequency domain, the spectrum of an FM signal consists of a carrier-frequency component and an infinite number of sideband components at frequencies fc  nfm (n = 1,2,3,4,5…..).
The amplitude of spectral lines is determined by the Bessel function Jn().
Number of significant spectral lines depends on the modulation index β.
As β increases, there will be more sideband lines.

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)

Multiplexing allows multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single channel.
In FDM, different message signals are modulated at distinct carrier frequencies.
Modulated signals are combined into a composite signal and transmitted over the shared medium.
Guard bands separate modulated signals to prevent interference.
At the receiver, bandpass filters separate the modulated signals from the composite signal.
Demultiplexing recovers the individual message signals from the modulated signals.
Low pass filters remove any unwanted high-frequency components to recover the message signals.
