18. A cw wave with cosine phase modulation can be written as E (t) = E0 ejωt e-jΔ cos (Ft), where F is the phase modulation frequency. e-jΔ cos (Ft) can be expanded using Bessel functions. Then, R between the modulation band and the cw component exactly equals [J1 (Δ)/ J0 (Δ)]2 (Δ 2 when Δ ≤π/2) that is free of the frequency (ω).
