Which quantity does an FM modulator's sensitivity specify?

  • A.Index per hertz of message
  • B.Deviation per volt of message
  • C.Power per volt of message
  • D.Bandwidth per volt of message

Answer: B

Sensitivity is deviation per volt, usually in kilohertz per volt, and it is what converts an audio level into a frequency swing. Power is constant in FM, so power per volt is zero. Bandwidth follows from deviation rather than being specified directly. And index per hertz inverts the relationship, since a higher message frequency lowers the index for fixed deviation. Knowing the sensitivity is what lets a designer set the audio level for legal deviation.
