	What is phase modulation? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: PM
		Phase modulation (PM) is a method of impressing data onto an alternating-current (AC) waveform by varying the instantaneous phase of the wave.
		Each phase angle (that is, each shift from one phase state to another) represents a specific digital input data state.
		Phase modulation is similar in practice to frequency modulation (FM).

		In a phase modulation transmitter, as the modulating frequency is increased, the phase modulation stays the same but the frequency modulation increases.
		In a frequency modulation transmitter, as the modulating frequency is increased, the amount of frequency modulation stays the same, but the phase modulation decreases.
		Since most phase modulators produce small amounts of phase modulation, the problem of obtaining huge amounts of phase modulation was solved by using frequency multipliers, which not only multiply the carrier frequency, but also any phase or frequency modulation.

	MODULATION
		The process of phase modulation consists of varying the phase of the carrier linearly in proportion to the modulating signal such that maximum phase shift occurs during positive and negative peaks of the modulating signal.
		The instantaneous phase angle in a frequency modulated wave varies directly as the integral of the modulating signal.
		If the modulating signal f(t) is integrated before using it to phase modulate a carrier, the result is an FM wave, similarly, if the modulating signal is differentiated before allowing it to frequency modulate a carrier, the result is a PM wave.

	Method and apparatus for creating phase modulation in edge-sensitive signals invention
		Whether it is to create a phase modulation inside a phase-locked loop for wide-bandwidth clock recovery or to cause phase modulation in a test stimulus, high-performance phase modulators with sufficient phase variation range, very high speed of modulation (modulation bandwidth) capable of operation for multi-gigabit per second data rate applications are needed.
		This type of modulation is not the same as phase modulation except during sinusoidal modulation where the integral of a sine wave is a cosine wave which has a similar amplitude response.
		The signal is paralleled to implement high performance phase modulation on both rising and falling edges as one flip-flop is used to toggle based on the direct input signal and another flip flop is used to toggle on an inverted copy of the direct input signal.

	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.
		Phase Modulation (PM) is a similar system where the phase of the carrier wave is varied in sympathy with the voltage of the modulating signal, and as in frequency modulation, the amplitude of a carrier is held constant.
		Now Phase and Frequency are related, an incremental frequency shift of the carrier wave frequency causes a continuing change in phase (wrt the original carrier), the rate of change of phase is proportional to the frequency shift.

	Phase modulation
		In phase modulation the phase of the carrier is caused to shift at the rate of the af modulating signal.
		Phase modulation is also similar to frequency modulation in the number of sidebands that exist within the modulated wave and the spacing between sidebands.
		In frequency modulation, we saw that as the frequency of the modulating signal increased (assuming the deviation remained constant) the number of significant sideband pairs decreased.

	Nikon MicroscopyU: Modulation Transfer Function
		Modulation is typically less in the image than in the specimen and there is often a slight phase displacement of the image relative to the specimen.
		The modulation transfer function is also related to the point spread function, which is the image of a point source of light (commonly referred to as the Airy disk) from the specimen projected by the microscope objective onto the intermediate image plane.
		Radial modulation transfer targets are ideal for high-resolution measurements using photographic film or analog sensors, but the horizontal and vertical pixelated nature of CCD detectors benefits from analysis utilizing targets that are geometrically consistent with the pixel rows and columns of the imaging device.

	Amplitude and periodic phase modulation transmission system - Patent 4217467
		The phase of the carrier signal also conveys information of the unipolar signals, so that the combination of the phase discrimination of the received carrier signal and the envelope detection permits the original signal to be reconstructed if the amplitude waveform is substantially distorted over the transmission path.
		The modulator 5 also receives the train of unipolar signals from the source 1 as a modulation signal, and the phase modulated carrier is amplitude modulated by the unipolar signal.
		The amplitude modulation in the modulator 5 takes place by a timing adjustment such that the points at which the phase of the phase modulated carrier changes are in coincidence with the points at which the amplitude of the unipolar signal changes.

	Modulation at AllExperts
		A device that performs modulation is known as a modulator and a device that performs the inverse operation of demodulation is known as a demodulator.
		These are the general steps used by the modulator to transmit data:# Accept incoming digital data;# Group the data into symbols;# Use these symbols to set or change the phase, frequency or amplitude of the reference signal appropriately;# Pass the modulated signal on for further processing, such as filtering and channel-coding, before transmission.
		At the receiver, the demodulator# Is passed the de-filtered and de-channel-coded signal;# Determines its phase, frequency or amplitude;# Maps the phase, frequency or amplitude to its corresponding symbol;# Translates the symbol into its individual bits;# Passes the resultant bit stream on for further processing such as removal of any error-correcting codes.
