Everything about Phase modulation

Electronic method of transmitting information with a carrier wave

Phase modulation (PM) is a signal modulation method for conditioning communication signals for transmission. It encodes a message signal as variations in the instantaneous phase of a carrier wave. Phase modulation is one of the two principal forms of angle modulation, together with frequency modulation. Wikipedia →
