Which is the practical reason pre-emphasis exists in FM but not in PM?

  • A.FM's index rises with frequency
  • B.PM's bandwidth is narrower
  • C.PM cannot tolerate audio shaping
  • D.FM's detector noise rises with frequency

Answer: D

An FM discriminator differentiates, so its output noise spectrum rises with frequency and the top of the audio band needs help; a PM detector's noise is flat and needs none. FM's index falls rather than rises with frequency. PM's bandwidth is not generally narrower. And PM tolerates shaping perfectly well; it simply has no reason for it. The whole pre-emphasis story follows from one property of one detector, which is worth knowing precisely.
