Amamplitude modulation fm frequency modulation pm phase modulation in phase modulation, modulation index is directly proportional to modulating voltage only while in frequency modulation, modulation index is also inversely proportional to modulat. Both frequency modulation and phase modulation involve challenging math calculus. It is impossible to change the frequency of a sinewave without changing its phase. The phase of a carrier wave is varied in response to the vibrations of the sound source in phase modulation pm. Consequently, unlike amplitude modulation, the spectrum of an fm signal is not related. Fm is a so called angle modulation scheme, it was inspired by phase modulation but has proved to be more useful partly for its ease of generation and decoding.
The first practical system was put forward in 1936 as an alternative to am in an effort to make radio transmissions more resistant to noise.
