What does the guard band between FM channels accommodate?

  • A.The transmitter's harmonic output
  • B.The spectrum beyond Carson's estimate
  • C.The pilot tone and its harmonics
  • D.The receiver's intermediate frequency offset

Answer: B

Carson's rule captures about ninety-eight per cent of the power, so the guard band holds the remaining Bessel tail together with any frequency error. The pilot and its harmonics lie in the baseband, well inside the deviation. The receiver's intermediate frequency is a separate matter entirely. And transmitter harmonics fall at multiples of the carrier, far outside the band. Knowing what a guard band is for explains why it is twenty kilohertz rather than an arbitrary figure.
