Which impairment does the threshold effect describe?

  • A.Rise of noise with baseband frequency at the detector
  • B.Abrupt collapse of FM output below a signal level
  • C.Gradual increase of noise as a signal weakens
  • D.Suppression of the weaker of two co-channel signals

Answer: B

It describes the sudden collapse below a critical carrier-to-noise ratio, which is what makes FM coverage boundaries sharp. Gradual degradation is AM's behaviour. Suppression of a weaker signal is capture. And rising noise with baseband frequency is the triangular spectrum. Four distinct FM phenomena, each with its own name, and using the right name is half of describing a fault correctly.
