Frequency modulation (FM)

A modulation technique in which the carrier frequency is shifted by an amount proportional to the value of the modulating signal. The amplitude of the carrier signal remains constant. The information signal causes the carrier signal to increase or decrease its frequency based on the waveform of the information signal.
