DEFINITION OF ANGLE MODULATION (PM, FM)
Phase Modulation is the process of varying the phase of the carrier signal linearly with the message signal.
Angle modulation is the process of altering the angle θ(t) = 2πfc +∅ 𝒄of the carrier signal c(t) by the message
Regarding to the relation of the instantaneous angle θ(t) to its perspective Sine-Cosine (sinusoidal ) function.

Narrowband FM
o This frequency modulation has a small bandwidth when compared to wideband FM.
o Its spectrum consists of the carrier, the upper sideband and the lower sideband.
o This is used in mobile communications such as police wireless, ambulances, taxicabs, etc.
Wideband FM
o Its spectrum consists of a carrier and infinite number of sidebands, which are located around it.

Effect of Non–Linearity on AM and FM signals
Sometimes, the modulated signal after transmission gets distorted due to non–linearities in the
channel, for example. In general, when the transmitted modulated signal is affected by channel
non–linearity in the channel, the demodulated signal becomes a distorted version of the
message signal. We can easily show that the effect non–linearities on different types of
amplitude–modulated signals is devastating, while frequency–
modulated signals are immune to non–linearities. In fact, the effect of non–linearities on FM
signals can be used for generating wideband FM signals from narrowband FM signals, which is
an important feature.

Consider the channel shown below with a DSBSC input signal. The channel is a non–
linear channel in which the output signal of the channel is the sum of the input signal
and other powers of the input signal.

So, unless a3 is zero, it is clear that the original modulated signal gDSBSC(t) given above
cannot be extracted from the received signal f(t) because the terms with frequency
around ωc does not contain only m(t) but also m3(t). So, DSBSC (and AM modulation
in general) is vulnerable to non–linearities.

In this case, it is clear that all the coefficients of the different terms are simply constants.
The terms are in fact different FM signals with different frequencies and different values of the
parameter kf. But, the important conclusion is that the original FM signal can easily be extracted
from the output signal of the non–linear channel using a filter centered at the carrier frequency and
bandwidth equal to the bandwidth of the FM signal. So, FM signals are IMMUNE (does not get
damaged) to non–linearities.
