 * \brief Frequency modulator block
 * \ingroup modulators_blk
 *
 * \details
 * float input; complex baseband output
 *
 * Takes a real, baseband signal (x_m[n]) and output a frequency
 * modulated signal (y[n]) according to:
 *
 * \f[
 * y[n] = exp (j 2 \pi \frac{f_{\Delta}}{f_s} \sum{x[n]})
 * \f]
 *
 * Where x[n] is the input sample at time n and \f$ f_{\Delta} \f$
 * is the frequency deviation. Common values for \f$ f_{\Delta}
 * \f$ are 5 kHz for narrowband FM channels such as for voice
 * systems and 75 KHz for wideband FM, like audio broadcast FM
 * stations.
 *
 * In this block, the input argument is \p sensitivity, not the
 * frequency deviation.  The sensitivity specifies how much the
 * phase changes based on the new input sample. Given a maximum
 * deviation, \f$ f_{\Delta} \f$, and sample rate \f$f_s\f$, the
 * sensitivity is defined as:
 *
 * \f[
 * k = 2 \pi \frac{f_{\Delta}}{f_s}
 * \f]
