Start with logic 0s and 1s. Convert them to pulses that look roughly like Gaussian bell curves each going from near-zero to maximum to near-zero in one bit time, 0s going negative, 1s going positive. Use said negative-and-positive-going pulses to frequency-modulate a carrier. What is the name of this type of modulation? If my description of the mechanics of this modulation scheme is not quite right, what is the name of the modulation that would produce the same apparent result as described above?
Name that modulation...
