Consider the following statements about angle modulation.

1. Both FM and PM have infinitely many sidebands in principle

2. Both hold their transmitted power constant

3. Both need pre-emphasis for acceptable noise performance

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1 and 3 only
  • B.2 and 3 only
  • C.1, 2 and 3
  • D.1 and 2 only

Answer: D

The first two hold for both schemes. The third does not: only FM has the rising detector noise spectrum that pre-emphasis corrects, PM's being flat. Attributing pre-emphasis to the whole family is a natural but wrong generalisation, and it obscures the one genuine asymmetry in their noise behaviour. Sorting shared properties from scheme-specific ones is the most useful discipline in this topic.
