Which single fact explains most of the differences between FM and PM?

  • A.The index depends on message frequency in FM but not in PM
  • B.FM has a constant envelope and PM does not
  • C.PM has more sidebands than FM
  • D.FM cannot be generated indirectly

Answer: A

Everything else follows from it: because FM's index carries a division by the message frequency and PM's does not, their bandwidths scale differently, their detector noise spectra differ, and pre-emphasis becomes necessary for one and pointless for the other. Both have constant envelopes. Both have infinitely many sidebands. And FM is routinely generated indirectly, by the Armstrong method. Tracing a family of differences back to one root is the most compact way to hold this topic.
