From (5.73) one can see that the FM spectrum has the shape of the message signal
spectrum multiplied by a squared hyperbolic function.
For a high modulation index (β > 5), the power spectral density of s(t) has the shape of
the probability density function of m(t) in (5.67), as the modulation index is increased.
This is the result of Woodward’s theorem, which will be discussed in the following
(Woodward, 1952). The high modulation index also causes a spectral broadening of the
modulated carrier.
For most analog television standards, the commercial FM and the audio part of the
composite video can be considered as high-modulation-index systems (Lee, 1989). For
the high-modulation-index case, one can use Euler’s formula and rewrite (5.70) as
