An engineer must halve an FM channel's width without changing the audio bandwidth. The available move is

  • A.Reduce the audio level at the transmitter only
  • B.Raise the carrier frequency
  • C.Switch from pre-emphasis to de-emphasis
  • D.Reduce the deviation, accepting a poorer noise advantage

Answer: D

Bandwidth is dominated by the deviation term, so reducing the deviation narrows the channel and lowers the index, which costs noise performance - the trade run in reverse. Lowering the audio level does reduce deviation, but only for that programme and not as a system change; the deviation limit is what defines the channel. Carrier frequency does not affect bandwidth. And pre-emphasis and de-emphasis are a matched pair, not alternatives.
