Instantaneous frequency:

It has to be assumed that the message has no DC component such that the
integral converges when t→∞. The DC component of x(t) causes a
frequency shift for the carrier and the amount of the shift is fΔ x(t).

Then
β is the modulation index (it represents the maximum phase deviation and
it is proportional to the tone amplitude). The exponential modulated signal is:
where
Note: under the above conditions, each sideband line at ωc ± mω2 looks
like another FM carrier with tone modulation of frequency ω1.
In the following, some criteria are given for the needed bandwidth, in such
a way that the distortion would not be significant.
Because the analysis can not be done for general case, a sinusoidal is used
as a modulating signal.
For all the cases (i.e., even if β ≤ 1), the closest spectral spikes to the
carrier should be taken into consideration, that is the case where n = ± 1.
Let’s define the function M(β) > 1 in such a way that JM(β) ≥ ε and
JM+1(β) < ε .
Note: This case does not correspond to the maximum modulation index β.
Any other tone having fm < W and/or Am < 1 will require less bandwidth
even though β may be larger.
The delay terms t0 and t1 do not cause any problems. Nonlinear phase
response, however, would be a problem and it would cause distortion to
the detected signal.
Then the frequency and phase deviation increases n times higher. This is
utilized in some FM modulators.
1. Direct FM Modulator
Conceptually, a direct FM requires only a Voltage Controlled Oscillator
(VCO) whose oscillation frequency has a linear dependence on the
applied (input) voltage.
Advantages:
▪ a large deviation can be implemented directly
▪ simple implementation
Disadvantages:
▪ it is difficult to stabilize the carrier frequency (carrier frequency
tends to drift)
Assumption:
. After DC block:
Lets consider the case, where the desired signal is unmodulated carrier:
If ρ >> 1 then
