The two common forms of analog modulation are amplitude modulation am and frequency modulation fm which is speci. There are two common forms of angle modulation, namely, phase modulation and frequency modulation. However if st is sinusoidal, then the instantaneous frequency deviation of the anglemodulated signal is. This is different from the amplitude modulation am in which the amplitude of the carrier wave is varied while its frequency remains constant. In radio transmission, an advantage of frequency modulation is that it. To limit the bandwidth of the transmission, filters are often used. The bandwidth is the difference between lowest and highest frequencies of the signal. There is another way of modulating a, sinusoidal carrier wave, namely, angle modulation in which the angle of the carrier wave is varied according to the baseband signal.
