If the transmission bandwidth is doubled in FM then the SNR is?

decreases by 1/4


How Frequency Modulation Have Higher Bandwidth then AM?

Bandwidth is defined as difference between two frequencies.In AM only amplitude is modulated or changed to transmit the data at the given fixed frequency. In FM the frequency of the signal is changed to transmit the data. Since we will need a range of frequency to transmit the data using FM (say frequencies from f1 to f2), the bandwidth of FM signal will be higher than AM signal which can transmit at a fixed frequency.But.....The above answer does not address the issue of "strength of modulation", that is, modulation index.A.M. will always have a bandwidth of twice its highest modulating frequency regardless of the strength of modulation.For voice comms with about a 3 kHz maximum frequency, A.M. will demand (3+3) = 6 kHz of bandwidth.Because F.M. modulates the frequency swing of the transmitter, low modulation indexes with F.M. can give a bandwidth LESS than the maximum modulating frequency. Narrow-Band F.M. (NBFM) can have a bandwidth of *less than* 3 kHz, indeed it can have a bandwidth of only a few hundred hertz, in theory.In practice, very narrow NBFM suffers from worsening signal-to-noise ratios, and one of F.M.'s chief advantages over A.M. is the superior signal-to-noise of F.M. when it is allowed sufficient bandwidth.


Why is frequency modulation preferred over amplitude modulation for transmission of music?

FM provides noise immunity, whereas AM is easily affected by noise. With FM, the amplitude of the sound is converted into a shift in frequency. So the volume is limited by the bandwidth, but the frequency of the sound can vary as much as it likes, giving a higher fidelity sound. Spikes induced on the signal usually affect the amplitude of the signal. The amplitude of an FM signal is not used in the demodulation process and is therefore immune to spikes in the signal. AM was first used in radio because it is very easy to achieve using basic components. A single rectifier only, is needed to recover the audio. FM is quite a complicated process and could only be achieved once electronics had progressed.


What is narrow band modulation frequency?

When the frequency sensitivity of the modulating signal is small,the bandwidth of the FM is narrow. The narrowband FM has one carrier term two sideband terms.The modulation index is also small compared to one radian.

Why AM is used in TV video signals transmission and not FM?

AM has a smaller sideband bandwidth than FM, since the baseband bandwidth of NTSC video is already about 4.5MHz, using AM vestigial sideband the resulting bandwidth is only just under 6MHz (without partially suppressing one sideband, the resulting bandwidth would have been about 9MHz). Had FM been used instead the resulting bandwidth might have been around 100MHz instead.

What are the contrast of amplitude modulation to frequency modulation?

AM (Amplitude Modulation) has a smaller bandwidth and can have more stations available in any frequency range. AM is cheaper and can be transmitted over long distances. FM (Frequency Modulation) signals are prone to interference due to physical obstructions. The better sound quality is due to a much higher bandwidth, using FM.


How much bandwidth is required to listen to Essex FM online?

There is no information available as to how much bandwidth Essex FM online radio takes. It is not as much as required, but how much it takes up is what the worry is for. Most internet providers have a limit as to how much bandwidth you are allowed to use in a month.


What is narrow band FM and how a narrow band FM generate?

If the modulation index of FM is kept under 1, then the FM produced is regarded as narrow band FM. Lower the modulation index, lower the no. of significant sidebands are produced (with reference to bessel function). So lower the no. of significant sideband, lowerer will be the bandwidth of the resulting FM prduced. Sometimes, Narrow Band FM is regarded as, when the significant energy in FM occupies the same bandwidth as ordinary AM with the same modulating signal.


What is essential bandwidth of FM signal?

"Essential bandwidth" is the portion of the signal spectrum that encompasses most of the energy of the original signal in the frequency domain.


Is low bandwidth signal has more power than high bandwidth signal?

no,because generally the lower frequency side existed for lower bandwidth,and higher frequency side existed higher bandwidth,so thus we can say that lower bandwidth has generally has lower power as compared to higher bandwidth.


When did radio switch from music to news?

AM radio is now dedicated mostly to news/talk formats but not FM, which still carries musical content for the most part. FM has a larger bandwidth than AM, so FM offers much better sound quality, which is well suited to music. Talk radio doesn't require the fidelity that music radio does. The switch-over started in the late '60s and and '70s.
