Three schemes are compared at the same channel signal-to-noise ratio.

SchemeFigure of meritBandwidth
AM at unity index0.332 f m
SSB1.0f m
FM at index 545012 f m

Which conclusion follows?

  • A.AM offers the best compromise of the three
  • B.All three deliver the same output ratio
  • C.FM trades bandwidth for output ratio
  • D.SSB gives the best output ratio of the three

Answer: C

Reading across, FM buys a figure of merit of 450 by spending twelve times the message bandwidth, which is the trade in one line. SSB has the best bandwidth efficiency rather than the best output ratio. AM is worst on both counts and offers no compromise at all beyond receiver simplicity. And the figures plainly differ. Tabulating the schemes against both resources is the compact way to hold the comparison.
