1. What is the modulation index in a frequency modulated signal with a modulation frequency of 500 Hz
and frequency deviation of 10 kHz?
Solution:
β=Δf/fm
Where:
β=10,000/500=20
2. For a frequency-modulated signal with carrier frequency fc=200 kHz, modulation frequency
fm=1 kHz, and peak frequency deviation Δf=5 kHz, write the expression for instantaneous frequency
at t=0.5 ms.
Solution:
fi(t)=fc+Δfsin(2πfmt)
fi(0.5)=200+5sin(2π×1000×0.0005)=200+5sin(π)=200 kHz
Solution:
BW=2(Δf+fm)

4. A carrier wave of frequency 100 MHz is frequency modulated by a sinusoidal signal of amplitude 5 V
and frequency 5 kHz. The frequency sensitivity of the modulator is 20 kHz/V. Find the modulation
index of the FM wave.
Solution:
β=kfAm
β=20×5=100
5. A frequency-modulated signal has a carrier frequency of 50 MHz and a modulation index of 10. If the
modulating signal is a sinusoidal wave of 2 kHz, calculate the peak phase deviation of the FM wave.
Solution:
In FM, the peak phase deviation (θp) is equal to the modulation index (β):
θp=β
