phase modulation

n. Abbr. pm or p-m

A type of electronic modulation in which the phase of a carrier wave is varied in order to transmit the information contained in the signal.

phase modulation

(Electronics) a type of modulation, used in communication systems, in which the phase of a radio carrier wave is varied by an amount proportional to the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating signal

phase modulation

A method of transmitting signals in which the value of the signal is proportional to the phase angle of a carrier wave. It is often combined with amplitude modulation to transmit digital information via modems.
