  Amateur Radio application of Frequency Modulation
Frequency Modulation (FM) is a system where the amplitude of a carrier wave is held constant while the frequency is varied in sympathy with the voltage of the modulating signal.
Frequency is the Angular Velocity divided by 2 * pi.
In a strict sense, an FM signal is one where the frequency deviation resulting from a constant amplitude modulating signal is the same for all modulating frequencies, whereas a PM signal is one where the frequency deviation resulting from a constant amplitude modulating signal is proportional to the modulating frequency.

 Digital Music online course - Basic Frequency Modulation Synthesis Technique
Sound engineers tend to refer to the carrier frequency as the fundamental frequency, but musicians often avoid this nomenclature because in music the term "fundamental frequency" is normally associated with pitch and in FM the carrier frequency does not always determine the pitch of the sound.
The frequency ratio is a useful tool for the implementation of a phenomenon that is very common among conventional instruments, that is, achieving variations in pitch whilst maintaining the timbre virtually unchanged.
If the frequency ratio and the modulation index of a simple FM instrument are maintained constant but the offset carrier frequency is modified then the sounds will vary in pitch, but their timbre will remain unchanged.

 Frequency Assessment
The under frequency is the percent deviation between the nominal frequency and the actual frequency measured.
In this example, the rms of the values gives 0.52% deviation from the nominal frequency while the rms of the deviation is 60% higher with 0.82% deviation.
The precision of the frequency is not so important as long as the frequency is reduced or increased for adjusting the clock.

 Measurement of magnitude and phase angle of voltage and current phasors and frequency deviation in power systems - ...
The method of determining frequency deviation claimed in claim 6 wherein the three state variables of said frequency deviation estimation procedure correspond to the amplitudes in-phase and quadrature-phase and frequency deviation.
Frequency deviations in the output on the order of.+-.0.5 hertz are within acceptable limits, but any frequency deviation greater than 0.5 hertz, even those lasting only minutes, can cause significant damage to the generator, thus shortening the useful life of an asset often costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Finally, the frequency deviation of the voltage waveform is electronically calculated by linearly relating the frequency deviation to the average rate of change of the phase angle.

Modulation index is frequency deviation divided by the frequency of the modulating signal.

In view (B) the deviation frequency is held constant and the modulating frequency is varied to give the same modulation indexes.

 Filtdeviator   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The idea behind filtdeviator is to use a frequency response function to not only filter a sound (as with filter), but to create a topology of frequency deviation working in correlation with the filter.
With the frequency shift control, a constant or function value is added to all the bin frequencies to produce a nonlinear pitch domain translation of the spectrum.
If however changes in frequency are made, then the FFT integrity is compromised, necessitating use of the oscillator bank method in which each bin is synthesized as a sine wave changing in frequency and amplitude.

 [No title]
In order to prevent extreme modulations and resulting overflows beyond the frequency limits, amplitude and frequency deviations limiters should be connected on each voice channel in such a way that they cannot be disabled and should be used constantly.
On the voice frequency channels, lowpass filters that achieve an attenuation level of at least 30 dB for amplitude in accordance with amplitude of 15 kHz, for frequencies between 19-100 kHz should be used.
During this process, amounts of frequency deviation of the output and input signals should be so close to each other that the maximum difference in its amplitude should be 0,5 dB.

 Learning Resources: Statistics: Power from Data! Variance and standard deviation
Standard deviation is the measure of spread most commonly used in statistical practice when the mean is used to calculate central tendency.
Generally, the more widely spread the values are, the larger the standard deviation is. For example, imagine that we have to separate two different sets of exam results from a class of 30 students; the first exam has marks ranging from 31% to 98%, the other ranges from 82% to 93%.
Although standard deviation is less susceptible to extreme values than the range, standard deviation is still more sensitive than the semi-quartile range.

 Frequency Electronics Inc. - RUBIDIUM ATOMIC FREQUENCY STANDARDS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Frequency locking of the VCXO is accomplished by operating the Rubidium Physics Package as a frequency discriminator, i.e., departures of a frequency from an input signal (50.255+ MHz from the VCXO) from a defined center frequency (Rubidium atomic resonance) produce a DC output signal (control voltage).
When the applied microwave frequency is equal to 6.8+ GHz, the Rubidium atoms are resonated by the microwave field in the cavity.
The decrease in light, when the microwave frequency is equal to the Rubidium frequency, is then converted electronically to an error signal with phase and amplitude information used to steer the VCXO via its control voltage and keep it on frequency at 50.255+ MHz.

 MODULATION
Frequency modulation is the process of varying the frequency of a carrier wave in proportion to the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating signal without any variation in the amplitude of the carrier wave.
Because the amplitude of the wave remains unchanged, the power associated with an FM wave is constant.
After frequency modulation takes place, angular velocity of the carrier wave varies in proportion to the instantaneous amplitude of the modulation signal.
