BFSK signal
Can use a simple method to switch between two
oscillators
but this might cause discontinuities
if the switching between signals is done when either one is not
at a zero value
What problems do discontinuities cause?

But the phase between bits can be made to be
continuous
no discontinuity constant envelope retained
if we design the circuits based on the definition of
FM from before:
Then even if the message signal m () is discontinuous,
the integral of it will not be and the signal will then be
continuous.
But this is more complicated than simply switching
between two oscillators.

BFSK BW
If B = baseband BW of the message signal
RF BW = 2 f + 2 B
Assume that first null BW is used, the BW of rectangular pulses
is B=R
RF BW = 2 f + 2 R
