What happens to FM sidebands as the index increases from zero?

  • A.The number of pairs stays fixed while all grow
  • B.The spacing between sidebands increases
  • C.More pairs become significant and the carrier weakens
  • D.The carrier grows and the sidebands weaken

Answer: C

Energy moves outward: successive Bessel orders rise, more sideband pairs carry appreciable power, and the carrier falls, passing through nulls. The spacing stays fixed at the message frequency throughout, since it is set by the modulating frequency rather than by the index. The carrier growing would violate constant total power. And a fixed number of pairs is the narrowband approximation rather than the general behaviour. Watching a spectrum analyser as deviation is increased makes the Bessel behaviour immediately concrete.
