Why Are Phase Modulation Transmitters Rarely Used in Broadcasting?

[saikatmajumder]

Hello,
I want to know why phase modulation (PM) transmitters are not used for practical broadcasting, though its almost similar partner frequency modulation (FM) is used widely for broadcasting.

PM has been used in two-way radios for many years. Probably not anymore, but at one time was common.

re

pm is more suited to transmit discreet phase states usually for digital data. Probably the most widely used modulation is QAM (quadriture amplitude modulation) which combines amplitude and phase shift keying to trasmit large amonts of data very quickly. The most common application is the cable modem, satellite tv, and digital cable tv.

hi,

I am Telecom Engineer at Nepal Telecom,Nepal.
Response to above query:

The phase modulation necessitates complex receiver due to phase ambiguity in comparision to frequency modulation.So it is not preferred for transmmiting broadcasting.

It should be, Mr. Shambhu

Thank you Mr. Shambhu,
I think it should be the reason. What I think is that if modulating signal amplitude is increased beyond certain amplitude, phase will exceed pi or 2*pi and it will be difficult to distinguish it. Thus high level modulation will be somewhat difficult.
Moreover I think multipath propagation will bring a lot of phase related problems.
