Procedure:
1. Check the components /equipment's for their working condition.
2. Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram.
3.By switching off the modulating signal m(t)note the frequency of the carrier wave at pin no 2 of IC8038
4. Apply the modulating signal with suitable amplitude to get the FM signal.
5. Note the maximum and minimum frequency of the carrier wave in FM signal.
6. Calculate the frequency deviation, modulation index and bandwidth.

Result:
Frequency modulation is obtained for different values of carrier and message signal.
