Angle modulation
Résumé
Angle modulation is a class of carrier modulation that is used in telecommunications transmission systems. The class comprises frequency modulation (FM) and phase modulation (PM), and is based on altering the frequency or the phase, respectively, of a carrier signal to encode the message signal. This contrasts with varying the amplitude of the carrier, practiced in amplitude modulation (AM) transmission, the earliest of the major modulation methods used widely in early radio broadcasting.
In general form, an analog modulation process of a sinusoidal carrier wave may be described by the following equation:
A(t) represents the time-varying amplitude of the sinusoidal carrier wave and the cosine-term is the carrier at its angular frequency , and the instantaneous phase deviation . This description directly provides the two major groups of modulation, amplitude modulation and angle modulation. In amplitude modulation, the angle term is held constant, while in angle modulation the term A(t) is constant and the second term of the equation has a functional relationship to the modulating message signal.
The functional form of the cosine term, which contains the expression of the instantaneous phase as its argument, provides the distinction of the two types of angle modulation, frequency modulation (FM) and phase modulation (PM). In FM the message signal causes a functional variation of the carrier frequency. These variations are controlled by both the frequency and the amplitude of the modulating wave. In phase modulation, the instantaneous phase deviation of the carrier is controlled by the modulating waveform, such that the principal frequency remains constant.
For frequency modulation, the instantaneous frequency of an angle-modulated carrier wave is given by the first derivative with respect to time of the instantaneous phase:
in which may be defined as the instantaneous frequency deviation, measured in rad/s.
In principle, the modulating signal in both frequency and phase modulation may either be analog in nature, or it may be digital.
