5.1 Angle Modulation
In AM signals, the amplitude of a carrier is
modulated by a signal m(t), and, hence, the
information content of m(t) is in the amplitude
variations of the carrier. Because a sinusoidal
signal is described by amplitude and angle
(angle includes frequency and phase), there
exists a possibility of carrying the same
information by varying the angle of the
carrier. This in effect is a nonlinear
modulation technique.

that the PM and FM are equivalent in certain ways 
• FM with m(t) = a PM with ∫m(t).
• PM with m(t) = a FM with m’(t).

power of the modulated signal is given by: A2/2.

5.2 Bandwidth of Angle Modulated Waves
the FM signal is expressed as an unmodulated carrier plus
spectra of a(t), a2(t), … an(t), … centered at c.
Let M() be the spectrum of m(t) with bandwidth B.
The bandwidth of a(t) is also B because the integration is
equivalent to only a multiplication by 1/j .
a2(t) has a bandwidth of 2B (M()*M())
a3(t) has a bandwidth of 3B
an(t) has a bandwidth of nB
M
Conclusion: FM signal has infinite bandwidth. (theoretically)

15
Special cases:
• Narrow-Band Angle Modulation
The angle modulation is not linear in general. However, if
|kf a(t)| << 1  only the 1st two terms are important in the
above equation.
   
cos sin
FM c f c
t A t k a t t
  
 
 
 
This is a linear modulation. It is like an AM wave* with
bandwidth = 2B. This is called Narrow Band FM (NBFM).
* However the waveform is entirely different from AM

16
Narrow-Band Angle Modulation
Similarly the narrow band PM (NBPM) is given by:
The narrow band angle modulation is similar to AM (same
bandwidth, carrier plus spectrum centered on c).
The difference: in angle modulation the sideband spectrum is
p/2 phase shifted with respect to the carrier. The waveform is
completely different.

17
• Wide-Band Angle Modulation (summary)
This is the situation where we cannot ignore the higher
order terms because (|kf a(t)| << 1) is not satisfied. (can
be due to high kf ).
In this case the bandwidth of the FM signal is found to be
given by the following approximation:

5.3 Generation of FM Wave
Narrow-Band FM and PM wave generation

(b) Narrowband FM signal generator.

22
Indirect Method of Armstrong
We start with the generation of a NBFM with
frequency deviation f as described previously.
Then we use a frequency multiplier ( x N ) to obtain
a WBFM. After filtering using a bandpass filter
centered at Nfc, we get an FM signal with N f.
Sometimes the frequency increase of the carrier is
not needed.
Solution: after the multiplier we insert a mixer to
down convert the carrier to the wanted one.

23
Also see Example 5.7

Armstrong indirect FM transmitter.

24
Direct Generation Using a VCO
Frequency varies linearly with control voltage. FM
wave is generated by using message signal m(t)
as the a control signal.
1) Using an OP-AMP and Hysteresis Comparator
2) Variation of L or C of a tank of a resonant circuit :
reverse biased semiconductor (i.e. diode) can be
used as a variable capacitor.

Also we can use variable inductor. It can be
achieved by winding two inductors in the same
core. Then controlling the inductance of the inner
inductor by injecting a current in the outer one.

5.4 Demodulation of FM Wave
In an FM signal the information resides in the instantaneous
frequency :
Method 1:
A network with a response linear to  would be able to
detect the message signal.
Example : |H()| = a + b centered around the
carrier frequency in the FM band.

 The above expression shows that the output is
FM and AM modulated. See figure 5.12b. Since
c > kfm(t) all the time, an envelop detector can
be used to extract m(t) as shown in the previous
figure.
 Problem: A must be a constant. If not (due to
channel noise, fading, …), it must be fixed before
demodulation.
Solution: Bandpass limiter

2. Slope detection
3. Ratio detector
4. Zero-crossing detectors
5. Phase-Locked Loop (PLL):
1. Differentiation: OPAMP differentiator can be used to
convert frequency variation to amplitude variation
that can be detected using a simple envelop detector.

2. Slope detection: Any tuned circuit which has a
linear segment of positive slope in the frequency
response under or above the resonance can be used
instead of the OPAMP differentiator.
Examples: high pass RC filter

AM superheterodyne receiver: Intermediate frequency = 455kHz and envelope

monophonic FM receiver: Identical to the superheterodyne AM receiver
except that the intermediate frequency is 10.7MHz and envelope detector is
replaced by a PLL or a frequency discriminator.

5.7 FM Broadcasting System
FCC assigned the following frequency bands for FM
broadcasting.
Frequency range: 88 to 108MHz
Separation: 200 kHz
Max. frequency deviation: 75 kHz
Old FM receivers are monophonic. (one signal m(t))
New FM receivers are stereophonic. (left and right
audio signals, i.e. two different microphones). 
more natural effect.
FCC ruled that:
 monophonic receivers must be able to receive
stereo FM signals.
 Total transmission band for the stereo FM signal =
200kHz with f = 75KHz.

4.8 Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
• PLL is used to track the phase and frequency of the carrier
component of an incoming signal.
• Useful for synchronous demodulation of AM signals with
suppressed carrier (no pilot).
• Can be used for demodulation of angle-modulated signals
especially under low SNR conditions.
• Also has applications in clock recovery systems in digital
receivers.

Three basic components:
1. Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
2. Multiplier-works as the phase detector(PD) or phase comparator
3. Loop filter

c is the free running frequency of VCO
Instantaneous frequency of the VCO :
Further, considering the output of VCO
as Bcos[ct+o(t)]:
c and B are constants of the PLL.

Although in Figure (a), incoming frequency and the VCO
Output frequency are equal (c), the analysis is also valid
when they are different as shown below.
We assume the incoming signal (input to the PLL) be
Asin[ωct+θi(t)].
If the incoming signal happens to be
Asin[ωot+ѱ(t)],
it can still be expressed as Asin[ωct+θi(t)],
where θi(t)=(ωo-ωc)t+ ѱ(t).
Thus the analysis is not restricted to equal frequencies
of the incoming signal and the free-running VCO signal.

48
These equations suggest the model in part (b) of the Figure
The multiplier output is ABsin[ωct + θi(t)]cos[ωct + θo(t)]
=(1/2)AB (sin[θi(t) - θo(t)]+sin[2ωct + θi(t) + θo(t)]).
The sum frequency term is suppressed by the loop filter.
Hence the effective input to the loop filter is (1/2)AB sin[θi(t) - θo(t)].
If h(t) is the unit impulse response of the loop filter,
eo(t)=h(t)*(1/2) AB sin[θi(t) - θo(t)]
Since , we have
where K=cB/2 and θe(t) is the phase error, defined by θe(t) = θi(t) - θo(t).

5.4 Demodulation of FM, PM Waves with
PLL
When the incoming FM signal is A sin[ωct + θi(t)],
Hence,
and assuming a small error θe(t),
Thus, the PLL acts as an FM demodulator. If the incoming
signal is a PM wave, and
In this case the output of the PLL should be integrated to
obtain the message signal m(t).
