To generate a PM signal using a PLL, the input signal is applied to the frequency modulator, and the output signal of the frequency modulator is applied to the phase detector. The error signal generated by the phase detector is then used to control the phase of the VCO, which generates the PM signal.

Overall, a PLL is a useful and effective method for generating a PM signal from a frequency modulator, and it is important to carefully consider the use of a PLL when designing a PM communication system.

Describe Maximum Frequency Deviation of Phase Modulated Wave

The maximum frequency deviation of a phase modulated (PM) wave is the maximum amount by which the frequency of the PM wave can vary from the carrier frequency due to the presence of the modulating signal. It is an important parameter that determines the performance of the PM system and the amount of information that can be transmitted using the PM wave.

The maximum frequency deviation of a PM wave can be calculated using the following formula:

Δfmax = kp fm m(t)max

where:

· Δfmax is the maximum frequency deviation of the PM wave.

· kp is the phase sensitivity of the PM system.

· fm is the highest frequency component of the modulating signal.

· m(t)max is the maximum value of the modulating signal.

The phase sensitivity kp is a measure of the sensitivity of the PM system to phase deviations, and it is typically expressed in Hz/radian. The higher the value of kp, the greater the frequency deviation of the PM wave.

Overall, it is important to carefully consider the maximum frequency deviation of a PM wave when designing a PM communication system in order to maximize its efficiency and performance.

Describe Maximum Phase Deviation of Frequency Modulated Wave

The maximum phase deviation of a frequency modulated (FM) wave is the maximum amount by which the phase of the FM wave can vary from the carrier phase due to the presence of the modulating signal. It is an important parameter that determines the performance of the FM system and the amount of information that can be transmitted using the FM wave.

The maximum phase deviation of an FM wave can be calculated using the following formula:

Δφmax = (2π Δfmax) / fc

where:

· Δφmax is the maximum phase deviation of the FM wave.

· Δfmax is the maximum frequency deviation of the FM wave.

· fc is the carrier frequency of the FM wave.

The maximum phase deviation of an FM wave is directly proportional to the maximum frequency deviation and inversely proportional to the carrier frequency. This means that a larger frequency deviation or a lower carrier frequency will result in a greater phase deviation, while a smaller frequency deviation or a higher carrier frequency will result in a smaller phase deviation.

Overall, it is important to carefully consider the maximum phase deviation of an FM wave when designing an FM communication system in order to maximize its efficiency and performance.

Show the Phasor Representation of Amplitude Modulated Signal

The phasor representation of an amplitude modulated (AM) signal is a way to represent the AM signal in the complex plane using a vector or phasor. It is a useful tool for analyzing and understanding the properties of AM signals, such as their frequency spectrum and power content.

The phasor representation of an AM signal can be obtained by expressing the AM signal in complex exponential form. For an AM signal with a single-tone sinusoidal carrier and a sinusoidal modulating signal, the phasor representation can be obtained as follows:

x(t) = A(1 + mcos(ωmt))cos(ωct)

x(t) = Acos(ωct) + Amsin(ωct)

x(t) = A(cos(ωct) + jsin(ωct)) + Am(cos(ωct) + jsin(ωct))

x(t) = Ac(cos(ωct) + jsin(ωct)) + Am(jcos(ωct) – jisin(ωct))

x(t) = (A+jAm)c(cos(ωct) + jsin(ωct))

where:

· x(t) is the AM signal.

· A is the amplitude of the carrier.

· m is the modulation index of the AM signal.

· ωc is the angular frequency of the carrier.

· ωm is the angular frequency of the modulating signal.

· c(cos(ωct) + jsin(ωct)) is the phasor representation of the carrier.

· (jcos(ωct) – jisin(ωct)) is the phasor representation of the modulating signal.

The phasor representation of the AM signal is obtained by adding the phasor representation of the carrier and the modulating signal, and multiplying the result by the complex coefficient (A+jAm). The magnitude of the phasor represents the amplitude of the AM signal, and the angle represents the phase of the AM signal.

Overall, the phasor representation of an AM signal is a useful tool for understanding and analyzing the properties of AM signals, and it is an important concept to understand when working with AM systems.

The phasor representation of an FM signal can be obtained by expressing the FM signal in complex exponential form. For an FM signal with a single-tone sinusoidal carrier and a sinusoidal modulating signal, the phasor representation can be obtained as follows:

x(t) = Acos(ωct + kp sin(ωmt))

x(t) = Acos(ωct)cos(kp sin(ωmt)) – Asin(ωct)sin(kp sin(ωmt))

x(t) = Ac(cos(ωct) + jsin(ωct))(cos(kp sin(ωmt)) – jsin(kp sin(ωmt)))

where:

· x(t) is the FM signal.

· A is the amplitude of the carrier.

· kp is the phase sensitivity of the FM system.

· ωc is the angular frequency of the carrier.

· ωm is the angular frequency of the modulating signal.

· c(cos(ωct) + jsin(ωct)) is the phasor representation of the carrier.

· (cos(kp sin(ωmt)) – jsin(kp sin(ωmt))) is the phasor representation of the modulating signal.

The phasor representation of the FM signal is obtained by multiplying the phasor representation of the carrier by the phasor representation of the modulating signal. The magnitude of the phasor represents the amplitude of the FM signal, and the angle represents the phase of the FM signal.

Overall, the phasor representation of an FM signal is a useful tool for understanding and analyzing the properties of FM signals, and it is an important concept to understand when working with FM systems.

Compare Amplitude Modulation, Frequency Modulation, and Phase Modulation

Amplitude modulation (AM) is a type of radio transmission in which the amplitude (strength) of the carrier wave is varied in accordance with the information being transmitted. This is done by adding the information signal to the carrier wave, resulting in a signal that has the same frequency as the carrier but whose amplitude varies according to the information signal.

Frequency modulation (FM) is a type of radio transmission in which the frequency of the carrier wave is varied in accordance with the information being transmitted. This is done by adding the information signal to the carrier wave, resulting in a signal that has the same amplitude as the carrier but whose frequency varies according to the information signal.

Phase modulation (PM) is a type of radio transmission in which the phase of the carrier wave is varied in accordance with the information being transmitted. This is done by adding the information signal to the carrier wave, resulting in a signal that has the same frequency and amplitude as the carrier but whose phase varies according to the information signal.

One key difference between AM, FM, and PM is the way in which the information is encoded in the transmitted signal. In AM, the information is encoded in the amplitude of the signal, while in FM and PM it is encoded in the frequency and phase, respectively. This can affect the performance of the transmitted signal in different situations, such as in the presence of noise or interference. FM and PM are generally more resistant to noise and interference than AM, which makes them more suitable for certain types of communication. However, AM is still widely used due to its simplicity and compatibility with older equipment.
