1. A certain 100-MHz sinusoidal carrier is to be frequency modulated by a 2-kHz

tone. The maximum frequency deviation is to be adjusted to 10 kHz.

(a) Write an expression for the composite FM signal assuming sine function for both
the modulating signal and the carrier,

(b) Assume now that the carrier is to be phase modulated by the same tone and the
maximum phase deviation is to be adjusted to 3 radians. Write an expression for the
composite PM signal making the same assumptions as part (a)
