1. A Generalized frequency modulation transmitter configured to generate a modulated signal from an information signal and a carrier signal, the transmitter comprising:

  • an integrator configured to integrate the information signal with respect to time to generate an integrated information signal;

    an FM modulator configured to generate the modulated signal wherein a frequency of the modulated signal corresponds to the integrated information signal, and wherein a derivative of the frequency of the modulated signal corresponds to the information signal;

    an up-converter configured to up-convert the modulated signal to the radio frequency (RF) range; and

    a power amplifier in electronic communication with an antenna, the power amplifier configured to transmit the up-converted modulated signal.
