17. Illustrate the most suitable answer. What is the disadvantage of FM over AM? 2 2 4

a) high modulating power is needed

b) requires high output power

c) large bandwidth required

d) high noise is produced

Answer: c

Advantage of FM over AM is that the amplitude of an FM wave remains constant.

In FM, the power of transmitted wave depends on amplitude of unmodulated carrier
wave and hence it is constant. FM is less prone to noise compared to AM. However,
wide-band FM has a wider bandwidth than AM as it’s BW is given by Carson’s rule
which = 2*(β+1)fm, where β = Frequency Modulation Index and fm is frequency of
modulating signal. And BW of AM = 2*fm.

Answer : a

Carson’s rule states that only (β+1) (where β = modulation index) upper and
lower sidebands along with the carrier, have significant magnitude and contain
99% of total power. Thus, as per Carson’s rule, required bandwidth is equal to
the twice of sum of the maximum frequency deviation (fd) and the maximum
modulating frequency(fm), B = 2(fd + fm)Hz.

c. 11.15 * 10-7

d. 26.85 * 10-7

ANSWER: (c) 11.15 * 10-7 Explanation:

Noise voltage Vn = √(4R KTB)

Where, K = 1.381 × 10-23 J/K, joules per Kelvin, the Boltzmann constant

B is the bandwidth at which the power Pn is delivered.

T noise temperature is the resistance

= 1/10K + 1/30K

= 0.1333

R = 7.502KΩ

Vn = √{4 * 7.502 * 103 * 1.381×10-23 * 300 * 10 * 103}

b) requires high output power

c) large bandwidth required

d) high noise is produced

********** Telegram Channel:- @AKTU_Notes_Books_Quantum **********

 @AKTU_Notes_Books_Quantum

Answer: c

Advantage of FM over AM is that the amplitude of an FM wave remains constant. In

FM, the power of transmitted wave depends on amplitude of unmodulated carrier wave
and hence it is constant. FM is less prone to noise compared to AM. However, wide-band
FM has a wider bandwidth than AM as it’s BW is given by Carson’s rule which =
2*(β+1)fm, where β = Frequency Modulation Index and fm is frequency of modulating
signal. And BW of AM = 2*fm.

8 Illustrate the correct option. Carson’s rule is used to calculate ________ 2 2 4

a) Bandwidth of FM signal

b) SNR

c) Modulation index of FM signal

d) Figure of merit

Answer : a

Carson’s rule states that only (β+1) (where β = modulation index) upper and
lower sidebands along with the carrier, have significant magnitude and contain
99% of total power. Thus, as per Carson’s rule, required bandwidth is equal to
the twice of sum of the maximum frequency deviation (fd) and the maximum
modulating frequency(fm), B = 2(fd + fm)Hz.

9 Analyze the correct choice from the given options. the bandwidth of a FM wave when 2 2 4

a) 130 KHz

b) 260 KHz

c) 65 KHz

d) 50 KHz

Answer: a
