Angle modulation is a class of carrier modulation that
is used in telecommunications transmission systems.
The class comprises frequency modulation (FM) and
phase modulation (PM), and is based on altering the
frequency or the phase, respectively, of a carrier
signal to encode the message signal.
Phase modulation (PM) is a modulation pattern for conditioning communication signals for transmission. It encodes a message signal as variations in the instantaneous phase of a carrier wave. Phase modulation is one of the two principal forms of angle modulation, together with frequency modulation.
Frequency modulation (FM) is a type of angle modulation in which the frequency of a sinusoidal carrier wave deviates from a center frequency by an amount proportional to the instantaneous value of the message signal. In FM, the center frequency is the carrier frequency.
A narrow band FM is the FM wave with a small bandwidth , The modulation index mf of narrow band FM is small as compared to one radian . Hence, the spectrum of narrow band FM consists of the carrier and upper sideband and a lower sideband .
The modulation technique used here is wideband frequency modulation. When the highest frequency component of a modulating signal is greater than the peak frequency deviation of modulated signal , then it is called as wide band frequency modulation
