It is commonly applied to the difference of a variable from its mean, or to the difference of an observed value from a theoretical value. 2. = magnetic deviation.3. In radio transmission, the apparent variation of frequency above and below the unmodulated or center frequency. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In radio, frequency deviation is the result of frequency modulation. In the FM band for broadcasting, deviation is normally 150kHz total, which is ±75kHz of the carrier frequency. Excessive deviation is the result of overmodulation, and causes interference to adjacent channels.
Phase modulation has the same net effect as FM, but phase deviation is measured in degrees or radians, compared to the umodulated carrier wave. The modulation index is equal to the phase deviation in radians.

| Thumbnail | Description & Credit |  | Figure 50. Berget double deviation refractometer, developed and devised by the Frenchman Alphonse Berget, professor at the Oceanographic Institute. From about 1911 onward, he was concerned with developing an instrument to measure the density of a liquid at sea by a method that would not be affected by the ship's motion. He described the pictured instrument in 1925. Credit: Sailing for Science - the NOAA Fleet Then and Now. |

Consequently, the share of hardware in total IT spending jumped from 53 percent in FY 1999 to over 56 percent in FY 2000. This was a clear deviation from the past, when the share of hardware was on a decline due to rapidly falling prices. (references) | ||
