Consider the message signal shown in the figure below:
If this message signal m(t) is applied to an FM modulator whose frequency sensitivity is kf=0.5Hz/V, then the maximum phase deviation of the resultant FM signal will be _____ radians.
For an FM signal,
Δϕmax=2πkf∣∣∣t∫−∞m(t)dt∣∣∣max
∣∣∣t∫−∞m(t)dt∣∣∣max=Area under m(t) =(1×2)+(2×2)=6
Δϕmax=2π(0.5)(6)=6π rad=18.85 rad
