• FM is the process of changing carrier frequency by the
modulating signal while the carrier amplitude remains
constant.

Power in FM signal
• In AM, since the amplitude of carrier signal is changed according to the
input signal, total power of an AM wave is equal to the sum of carrier
power and sidebands:
Pt ( AM ) PC PSB
• Unlike AM, the amplitudes of FM signal is constant. Total power in FM
wave is equal to the power of unmodulated carrier.
Pt ( FM ) PC
• But the carrier power in FM is re-distributed among the carrier and
sidebands, thus the total power is:

Approximation: BW 2f f m
Carson’s Rule
FM bandwidth:
BW 2f f m
• Where ∆f is maximum frequency deviation
fm is maximum modulating signal frequency
2. Finding bandwidth using Bessel’s table
• In Bessel table, the number of significant sidebands, n
depends on the value of modulation index, m.
• Minimum bandwidth is determine mathematically as:
BW 2n f m
*Significant m = 0.25
sidebands are
those that have

Exercise 1
Narrowband FM (NBFM)
• modulation index less than 0.5 (m< 0.5 )
• has only a single pair of significant sidebands.
• bandwidth for NBFM can be reduced to: BW = 2 x fm,
• Often used for short distance communications using vehicle
mount radios or hand carried equipment
• Usually the audio or data (input) bandwidth is small
Wideband FM (WBFM)
•Modulation index, m > 0.5
•has more than 2 significant sidebands
•Bandwidth is approximately BW = 2(n x fm )
•Broadcast FM stations use wideband FM,
•WBFM system is able transmit high quality audio as well as
other services like a stereo channel, and possibly other
services as well on a single carrier.
Frequency Modulation Versus Amplitude Modulation
Advantages of FM
• FM typically offers some significant benefits over AM.
• FM has superior immunity to noise, made possible by
clipper limiter circuits in the receiver.
• In FM, interfering signals on the same frequency are
rejected. This is known as the capture effect.
• FM signals have a constant amplitude and there is no
need to use linear amplifiers to increase power levels. This
increases transmitter efficiency.
Frequency Modulation Versus Amplitude Modulation
Disadvantages of FM
• FM uses considerably more frequency spectrum space.
• FM has used more complex circuitry for modulation and
demodulation.
• In the past, the circuits used for frequency modulation and
demodulation involved were complex. With the proliferation
of ICs, complex circuitry used in FM has all but disappeared.
ICs are inexpensive and easy to use. FM and PM have
become the most widely used modulation method in
electronic communication today.
