Radio telescopes can also detect quasars, which is short for quasi-stellar radio source.

While changing the amplitude of a radio signal is the most obvious method to modulate it, it is by no means the only way. It is also possible to change the frequency of a signal to give frequency modulation or FM.

Frequency modulation is widely used on frequencies above 30 MHz, and it is particularly well known for its use for VHF FM broadcasting.

Although it may not be quite as straightforward as amplitude modulation, nevertheless frequency modulation, FM, offers some distinct advantages.

It is able to provide near interference free reception, and it was for this reason that it was adopted for the VHF sound broadcasts.

These transmissions could offer high fidelity audio, and for this reason, frequency modulation is far more popular than the older transmissions on the long, medium and short wave bands.

In addition to its widespread use for high quality audio broadcasts, FM is also used for a variety of two way radio communication systems.

When the audio signal is modulated onto the radio frequency carrier, the new radio frequency signal moves up and down in frequency.

The amount by which the signal moves up and down is important. It is known as the deviation and is normally quoted as the number of kilohertz deviation

It is narrow band FM that is typically used for two-way radio communication applications. Having a narrower band it is not able to provide the high quality of the wideband transmissions, but this is not needed for applications such as mobile radio communication.

As with any form of modulation, it is necessary to be able to successfully demodulate it and recover the original signal. The FM demodulator may be called a variety of names including FM demodulator, FM detector or an FM discriminator.

There are a number of different types of FM demodulator, but all of them enable the frequency variations of the incoming signal to be converted into amplitude variations on the output. These are typically fed into an audio amplifier, or possibly a digital interface if data is being passed over the system.

Varactor diode oscillator: This method simply requires the use of a varactor diode placed within the tuned circuit of an oscillator circuit. It is even possible to use a varactor diode within a crystal oscillator circuit.

Typically when crystal oscillators a re used the signal needs to be multiplied in frequency, and only narrow band FM is attainable.

Phase locked loops provide an excellent method of generating frequency modulation. It is often necessary to manage the constraints within the loop carefully but once done it provides and excellent solution.

Some phase modulation and quadrature amplitude modulation formats have a higher spectral efficiency for data transmission than frequency shift keying, a form of frequency modulation. As a result, most data transmission system use PSK and QAM.
