Which statement about AM and noise is correct?

  • A.AM is immune to amplitude noise by design
  • B.AM improves in noise performance as the index falls
  • C.AM noise performance is independent of the modulation index
  • D.AM offers no bandwidth-for-noise trade, unlike wideband FM

Answer: D

Amplitude modulation has no mechanism for trading bandwidth against noise, which is what wideband FM does through its capture and deviation effects. Noise that adds to the amplitude adds directly to the recovered message, so AM is the most vulnerable of the schemes rather than immune. Performance improves with a larger index, since more of the power carries information. And it therefore certainly depends on the index.
