The general equation for phase modulation is:
$s(t)=A\cos(2\pi f_ct+k_pm(t))$
Where:
- $s(t)$ = the phase modulated signal
- $A$ = amplitude of the carrier
- $f_c$ = carrier frequency
- $k_p$ = phase sensitivity in rads per unit of $m(t)$
- $m(t)$ = modulating signal
The modulating signal can either be a subcarrier with modulation or modulation directly on the carrier:
1. Data modulated onto a
1. Sine-wave subcarrier
2. Square-wave subcarrier
2. No subcarrier - direct on carrier
The square-wave subcarrier actually reduces down to the no subcarrier variant - will show that later.
## Sine-wave Subcarrier
### Getting the Bessel Function
$m(t)=M\sin(2\pi f_mt)$
Where:
- $M$ is the amplitude of the subcarrier
- $f_m$ is the frequency of the subcarrier
The equation for the phase modulation is now:
$s(t)=A\cos(2\pi f_ct+k_pM\sin(2\pi f_mt))$
We can define the modulation index as:
$\beta=k_pM$
Which simplifies the equation to:
$s(t)=A\cos(2\pi f_ct+\beta\sin(2\pi f_mt))$
Use Euler’s Formula:
$⁍$
$s(t)=A\frac{e^{i(2\pi f_ct+\beta\sin(2\pi f_mt))}+e^{-i(2\pi f_ct+\beta\sin(2\pi f_mt))}}{2}$
$s(t)=\frac{A}{2}(e^{i2\pi f_ct}e^{i\beta\sin(2\pi f_mt)}+e^{-i2\pi f_ct}e^{-i\beta\sin(2\pi f_mt)})$
We now invoke the **Jacobi-Anger expansion**:
$e^{iz\sin \theta}=\sum_{n=-\infin}^{\infin}J_n(z)e^{in\theta}$
Which we can see that:
$e^{i\beta\sin(2\pi f_mt)}=\sum_{n=-\infin}^{\infin}J_n(\beta)e^{in2\pi f_mt}$
Putting that back into the formula and pulling out the like terms:
$s(t)=\frac{A}{2}\sum_{n=-\infin}^{\infin}J_n(\beta)(e^{i2\pi f_ct}e^{in2\pi f_mt}+e^{-i2\pi f_ct}e^{-in2\pi f_mt})$
Bringing back Euler’s Identity, it simplifies to:
$s(t)=A\sum_{n=-\infin}^{\infin}J_n(\beta)\cos(2\pi t( f_c+nf_m))$
How do we interpret this? The carrier is now a sum of cosine waves with amplitude $\frac{AJ_n(\beta)}{2}$and frequency $f_c+nf_m$.
### Conversion to Power Components
For a standard cosine wave:
$⁍$
The average power is:
$P_n=\frac{A_n^2}{2}$
For our equation with the sine-wave subcarrier, the power is:
$P_n=\frac{A^2J_n^2(\beta)}{2}$
### Pt Calculation
The total power is the sum of the powers of each part:
$P_T=\frac{A^2}{2}\sum_{n=-\infin}^{\infin}J_n^2(\beta)$
The Bessel Identity equals 1 and therefore:
$P_T=\frac{A^2}{2}$
We can get the generic formula
$\frac{P_n}{P_T}=\frac{\frac{A^2}{2}J_n^2(\beta)}{\frac{A^2}{2}}=J_n^2(\beta)$
### Pc Calculation
The power in the carrier is such at that the only frequency is that of the carrier. We see that the only $n$ such that $f_c+nf_m=f_c$ is where $n=0$ and therefore:
$\frac{P_C}{P_T}=\frac{P_0}{P_T}=J_0^2(\beta)$
### Pd Calculation
The power in the data is just any power that is not in the carrier.
$\frac{P_D}{P_T}=1-J_0^2(\beta)$
_However_ according to the Blue Books, for DSN only the first sidelobe is used:
$\frac{P_D}{P_T}=J_1^2(\beta)$
## Square-wave Subcarrier:
$m(t)= \begin{cases} M, & \text{for } La < t < L(a+1) \\ -M, & \text{otherwise}\end{cases}$
Where:
- $L$ = half period of the square-wave
- $a$ = an even integer
When can get $\beta$ again and substitute back into the original equation
$s(t)=A\cos(2\pi f_ct\pm \beta)$
Recall the average power of a cosine wave, which is not dependent on the phase. Therefore $P_T$ is the same as a simple sine-wave. We see that regardless of $\beta$, the frequency is always that of the carrier and thus all the power is in the carrier (but how can we get power in the data lol?)
