AM/FM/PM: Commons and Differences
AM(amplitude modulation), PM( phase modulation) and FM(frequency modulation) All these modulation types are analog modulation techniques in radio broadcasting/wireless communication, they are very basic but also very imprtant, and the followting items will help you further your basic understanding of broadcasting theory, let's see about it!
All these modulation types are analog modulation techniques. All the modulation types are used to transmit information from one place to the distant place. Mostly this techniques are employed in many different types of wireless communication.
Radio Signals
For any analog modulator type, there are two inputs and one output. The two inputs are modulating signal (i.e. analog information to be transmitted) and carrier signal waveform. The output is referred as modulated waveform.

Amplitude Modulation(AM) is the modulation technique in which carrier amplitude varies based on analog baseband information signal to be transmitted using wireless device.one of the application of amplitude modulation is radio. AM broadcast signals are mainly propagated by ground waves during the day and by sky waves at night time.
See Also: >>>>Amplitude Modulation in RF: Theory, Time Domain, Frequency Domain
Different amplitude modulation techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages as mentioned below:
• DSB-SC: It has lower power consumption and it is simple technique of modulation. But it is complex in detection at AM receiver. It is used in analog TV transmission systems to transmit color information.
• SSB-SC: It is used for efficient management of spectrum. But generation of SSB modulation is difficult and it is complex in detection at receiver. It is used for 2-way radio FDM.

Frequency Modulation(FM) is the modulation technique in which carrier frequency varies based on analog baseband information signal to be transmitted using wireless device. Frequency modulation is considered to be superior compare to the Amplitude modulation due to better noise immunity and its ability to reject the interfering signals due to the capture effect.
See Also: >>What does Frequency Modulation (FM) mean?
• Advantages: Increased immunity to noise.
• Disadvantage: Requires larger bandwidth.
• Application: Radio Broadcasting, Direct Satellite Broadcasting
See Also: >>What is Frequency Modulation Bandwidth, Spectrum and Sidebands?
Phase Modulation(PM)
Phase Modulation(PM) is the modulation technique in which carrier phase varies based on analog baseband information signal to be transmitted using wireless device. If a constant amplitude as well as constant frequency sine wave carrier is given to the phase shifter the output is phase modulated signal. Phase modulation is referred as indirect frequency modulation due to the fact that phase modulation produces frequency modulation. The effect of variation in amount of phase shift is proportional to change in the carrier frequency.

• Advantages: Increased immunity to noise.
• Disadvantages: More complex hardware at receiver.
• Applications: Used in data communication systems.
