Record 1, Textual support, English
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
In digital communications and radiotelegraphy, a type of modulation in which the phase angle of the carrier wave is shifted between two discrete values corresponding to digital ones and zeros representing the modulating signal. 5, record 1, English, - phase%20shift%20keying
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
PSK is similar to phase modulation, but the latter is analog in that the carrier phase angle varies continuously to follow the modulating signal's instantaneous amplitude, instead of "jumping" between two set values. 5, record 1, English, - phase%20shift%20keying

Angle modulation, in which the instantaneous phase angle of a sine-wave carrier is caused to depart from the carrier angle by an amount proportional to the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating wave. 3, record 2, English, - phase%20modulation

PM is similar to FM, in fact, crystal-controlled FM transmitters use a PM signal initially and then transform it into FM before it reaches the antenna. 4, record 2, English, - phase%20modulation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
PM is used essentially for telephony (analog signals). It bears some resemblance with phase shift keying (PSK) which is used for telegraphy or data (digital signals). 4, record 2, English, - phase%20modulation

Modulation angulaire d'une onde porteuse sinusoïdale, dont la phase de l'onde modulée diffère de celle de l'onde porteuse, d'une quantité proportionnelle à l'amplitude instantanée du signal modulant. 4, record 2, French, - modulation%20de%20phase
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La modulation de phase est semblable à la modulation de fréquence. Certains émetteurs pilotés au quartz sont d'abord modulés en phase à la sortie de l'oscillateur pilote et, avec multiplication de fréquence, on obtient de la modulation de fréquence à l'antenne. 5, record 2, French, - modulation%20de%20phase
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
La modulation de phase est exploitée surtout en radiotéléphonie (modulation analogique). La modulation à déplacement de phase est fondée sur les mêmes principes mais s'applique à la modulation numérique seulement : par ex., télégraphie, transmission de données. 5, record 2, French, - modulation%20de%20phase
