>Very simply, you modulate a signal to carry a message.

While a message can be carried over the airwaves without modulation, a modulated signal requires less power to transmit and a smaller antenna due to the higher frequency of the carrier wave. Modulation also lets many different radio, TV, cell phone, etc. users send messages over the airwaves without interfering with each other.

Answer - a bit moreIt is said that a carrier alone conveys no information (think about it).

However, that's not entirely true.

An unmodulated carrier tells me that at least a transmitter is active/working. Other things may be inferred from that.

Why phase modulation is used?

Actually phase modulation was used for the color signal in all analog TV systems.Phase modulation, with some signal preprocessing, was used to indirectly get frequency modulation in many FM transmitters.Certain modems use phase amplitude modulation.etc.

What is Modulation index in Frequency modulation?

Modulation Index is the ratio of the maximum deviation frequency to the frequency of modulation. In other words it is the ratio of the spread in frequency spectrum to the frequency that was used to modulate the carrier. For FM, modulation index is given by the formula mf= df/f where, mf=modulation index for FM df=difference in carrier frequency f=frequency of the signal
