'''Frequency Modulation''' (or '''FM''') is an encoding technique, used in [[magnetic storage]] such as [[disk]]s and [[Disk#Low-cost disks|floppy drive]]s.

In FM there is a reversal (signal level, or magnetic flux) at the start of every data bit time; for a '1', there is an additional reversal in the middle of the bit time, with no reversal indicating a '0'.

Consecutive zeros show a reversal between data bit times; consecutive ones show two reversals in every bit time (i.e. doubling the frequency of reversals; hence the name).

It was mostly replaced by [[Modified Frequency Modulation]], which can store twice as many bits in the same maximum reversal rate.
