Frequency Modulation (FM)

A method of encoding information in a carrier wave by varying its frequency.

FM Formula

fi = fc + Δf ⋅ sin(2πfm t), where fc is the carrier frequency, Δf is the frequency deviation, and fm is the modulating signal’s frequency.

Frequency Deviation (Δf)

The maximum amount by which the frequency of the carrier signal changes.

Frequency Modulator

An electronic circuit that applies frequency modulation by varying the carrier frequency based on the input signal.
