What would you expect of an FM signal received at exactly the threshold level?

  • A.Perfect reception with no noise
  • B.Complete silence
  • C.Reception of the adjacent channel instead
  • D.Marked noise with the message still discernible

Answer: D

At threshold the output is noticeably noisy but still usable; a little above it the noise falls away rapidly and a little below it the output collapses. That sharp transition is what the threshold effect names, and it makes FM coverage boundaries abrupt compared with AM's gradual fade. Perfect reception needs a margin above threshold. Silence comes well below it. And adjacent-channel reception is a selectivity failure rather than a threshold phenomenon.
