1. Angle modulation varies the angle of the carrier signal based on the message signal. This includes phase modulation, which varies the phase, and frequency modulation, which varies the frequency.
2. In phase modulation, the phase is varied linearly with the message signal. In frequency modulation, the frequency is varied linearly with the message signal.
3. For a single frequency message signal, frequency modulation results in a carrier signal with its frequency modulated above and below the center frequency by an amount proportional to the amplitude of the message signal.
