Carrier signal is the higher frequency wave with higher energy to carry the message signal to long dis. Frequency modulation synthesis or fm synthesis is a form of sound synthesis whereby the frequency of a waveform is changed by modulating its frequency with a modulator. Frequency modulation uses the instantaneous frequency of a modulating signal voice, music, data, etc. Most documentation about fm which is actually the almostequivalent phase modulation pm in many common cases including the fm by yamaha concerns sine waves only. Modulation index definition of modulation index by. In the instrument panel, i set the voices to one, making this example monophonic. An example of fm is the violinists vibrato, where the length of a string and therefore the resulting pitch is rapidly altered by a fast oscillating movement of the finger and wrist in radio transmission, the process involves the modulation of a carrier waves frequency by the program signal being transmitted. It is also the basis of the first commercially successful method for digital sound synthesis. To accomplish phase modulation, the carrier oscillator is split into its phase and cosine.
Frequency modulation is the process in which the frequency of the carrier signal is varied by the modulating signal while the amplitude remains constant. Modulation index is basically the ratio of amplitude of the massage signal the message we want to transmit to the amplitude of carrier signal. The modulation index or modulation depth of a modulation scheme describes by how much the modulated variable of the carrier signal varies around its unmodulated level. 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.

In this case, with frequency modulation, we call the amplitude of the modulator the index of modulation. In frequency modulation we modulate the frequency modulation here is just a latinate word for change. The big advantage of frequency modulation is its noise reduction ability, because most of noise is appeared as additional amplitude and in fm the amplitude of signal is hold fixed. From the above information, finally, we can conclude that, in frequency modulation, both efficiencies as well as bandwidth depends on the maximum the modulation index and modulating frequency.
