What is frequency modulation? 
When the frequency of carrier wave is changed in 
accordance with the message signal, The process is called 
frequency modulation. 
In FM the carrier amplitude remain constant the carrier 
frequency varies 
It is a type of Angle modulation 
Why Frequency modulation is called nonlinear-modulation?
Frequency modulation and its application
FM modulation index 
• FM modulation index is equal to the ratio of the 
frequency deviation to the modulating frequency. 
• Thus the formula for the modulation index for FM 
is simply given by that shown below: 
Frequency Deviation 
Modulating Frequency 
And also,
Significant Sidebands – Spectrum 
• The table below shows the number of significant 
sidebands for various modulation 
 No of sidebands  1% of 
unmodulated carrier 
Bandwidth 
0.1 2 2fm 
0.3 4 4fm 
0.5 4 4fm 
1.0 6 6fm 
2.0 8 8fm 
5.0 16 16fm 
10.0 28 28fm 
Example: 
For  = 5, 
16 sidebands 
(8 pairs).
Types of FM 
Narrow band FM 
1. Narrow band FM is defined as the situation where the 
modulation index  is small. 
2. From the table of Bessel functions it may be seen that for 
small , (  0.3) there is only the carrier and significant 
sidebands, i.e. BW = 2fm. 
FM with   0.3 is referred to as narrowband FM (NBFM). 
3. Maximum modulating frequency is usually 3kHz 
4. maximum frequency deviation is =75 kHz.
Types of FM 
Wide band FM 
1. Wideband FM is defined as the situation where the 
modulation index  is larger. 
2. For  > 0.3 there are more than 2 significant sidebands. As  
increases the number of sidebands increases. This is referred 
to as wideband FM (WBFM). 
3. Modulation frequencies extend from 30 Hz to 15 kHz. 
4. Maximum permissible deviation is=75 kHz. 
5. Wideband FM system need large bandwidth, typically 15 times 
that of narrowband FM system.

Advantages 
1. Amplitude of the frequency modulated wave remains 
unaffected. 
2. Large decrease in noise, hence increase in S/N ratio. 
3. Noise may reduce by increasing deviation. 
4. Frequency allocation allows for a guard band which 
reduces adjacent channel interference. 
5. Operate In Very high frequency (VHF).
Disadvantages 
• FM has too much advantages besides it also has some 
disadvantages 
1. FM wave can’t cover large area. 
2. Transmitting & receiving equipments for FM are 
complex & costly. 
3. A much wider channel, typically 200 kHz, is needed for 
FM.
Comparison of FM with PM 
Sr. 
No. 
FM PM 
1 Frequency deviation is proportional to 
modulating voltage 
Phase deviation is proportional 
to the modulating voltage 
2 Noise immunity is better than AM and PM Noise immunity is better than 
AM but worse than FM 
3 SNR is better than PM SNR is worse than FM 
4 FM is widely used for radio broadcasting PM is only used in some mobile 
systems 
5 It is possible to receive FM on PM receive It is possible to receive PM on 
FM receive 
6 Modulation index is proportional to 
modulating voltage as well as the modulating 
frequency . 
Modulation index is 
proportional to modulating 
voltage
Comparison of FM and AM 
Sr. 
No. 
FM AM 
1 FM receivers are immune to noise AM receivers are not immune 
to noise 
2 It is possible to decrease noise by increasing 
deviation 
This feature is absent in AM 
3 Bandwidth is higher and depends on modulation 
index 
Bandwidth is lower 
compared to AM but 
independent of modulation 
index 
4 FM transmission and reception equipment are more 
complex 
FM transmission and 
reception equipment are less 
complex 
5 All transmitted power is useful Carrier power and one 
sideband power is useless
FM Radio 
FM radio uses a modulation index, m > 1, and this is called wideband FM. As its name 
suggests the bandwidth is much larger than AM. 
In national radio broadcasts using FM, the frequency deviation of the carrier  fc , is 
chosen to be 75kHz, and the information baseband is the high fidelity range 20Hz to 
15kHz. 
BW of FM radio=2(75k+15k) 
=180khz 
Applications:
Television Sound: 
In terrestrial TV broadcasts, the video information is transmitted using AM . 
However the sound information is transmitted using FM, in order to reduce possible 
interference between the video and sound signals. In this case, the maximum deviation of 
the carrier,  fc , is chosen to be 50kHz, and the information baseband is again the high 
fidelity range 20Hz to 15kHz. Therefore the bandwidth required for TV Sound is: 
BW Of TV Sound=2(50k+15k) 
=130khz 
Satellite TV. 
Some satellite TV transmissions broadcast an analogue video signal using FM. This 
helps to obtain an acceptable signal at the receiving station In this case, the maximum deviation 
of the carrier  fc , is chosen to be about 10 MHz, with a video baseband of around 5MHz. 
Therefore the bandwidth required for Satellite TV is: 
BW of satellite TV =2(10+5) 
=30Mhz

Editor's Notes

  • #12: Because frequency will be changed according to the baseband signal Because FM receiver may be filtered with amplitude limiters to remove the amplitude variation caused by noise this makes FM reception a good deal to immune noise. In AM this feature is absent 98.3 channel’s some interference will be get in both adjacent channels compare with FM in AM it will be very high 88Mhz to 108Mhz
