Let's assume a sinusoidal modulating signal,
![]()
For frequency modulation (FM), the instantaneous frequency ωi is the carrier frequency ωc modified by the modulating signal times the FM constant kf :
![]()
Defining a new constant called the peak frequency deviation,
![]()
we can rewrite Eq. A.2 as
![]()
The phase of this FM signal is
![]()
where
![]()
is a dimensionless ratio of the peak frequency deviation to the modulating frequency.
The resulting signal is
![]()
Equation A.7 could be rewritten after some trigonometric expansion:
![]()
For small values of β (narrowband FM modulation), we can make the following approximations:
Substituting these into Eq. A.8, we obtain an approximate solution ...
