Clear through a thunderstorm
- AM crackles in a thunderstorm; FM stays clear. FM trades extra bandwidth for less noise.
- This lesson prices both sides of that trade: Carson's rule for the bandwidth, and the gain in signal-to-noise ratio.
The message moves the frequency
- Frequency modulation 频率调制 puts the message in the instantaneous frequency 瞬时频率: $f_{i} = f_{c} + k_{f}x(t)$.
- The largest swing is the frequency deviation 频偏 $\Delta f$. Against the message frequency it gives the index $\beta = \Delta f / f_{m}$.
An FM signal has Δf = 50 kHz and f_m = 10 kHz. What is β?

$\beta = \Delta f / f_{m} = 50/10 = 5$.
Carson's rule
- Carson's rule 卡森公式 estimates the bandwidth: $B \approx 2(\Delta f + f_{m})$.
- It holds about 98% of the power. Narrowband FM ($\beta \ll 1$) shrinks to about $2f_{m}$, like AM.
A two-way radio uses Δf = 5 kHz with 3 kHz audio. What bandwidth does Carson's rule give, in kHz?

$B \approx 2(5 + 3) = 16$ kHz.
For narrowband FM (β much less than 1), the bandwidth is about

With $\Delta f \ll f_{m}$, Carson gives $2(\Delta f + f_{m}) \approx 2f_{m}$.
Where the lines come from
- The phase is $2\pi f_{c}t + \beta\sin(\omega_{m}t)$. Expanding it gives lines at $f_{c} \pm kf_{m}$ with Bessel-function weights $J_{k}(\beta)$.
- The significant lines stop near $k \approx \beta + 1$, which is exactly Carson's $2(\Delta f + f_{m})$.
With β = 5, about how many significant lines lie on each side of the carrier?

They stop near $k = \beta + 1 = 6$, so 6 lines each side, spaced $f_{m}$ apart: $2 \times 6 \times 15 = 180$ kHz.
Worked example: FM broadcast
- $\Delta f = 75$ kHz and $f_{m} = 15$ kHz: $\beta = 5$ and $B = 2 \times 90 = 180$ kHz.
- Stations are spaced 200 kHz apart, so 20 kHz is left as a guard band.
Worked example: the price of quiet
- Above threshold, wideband FM improves the SNR by about $3\beta^{2}/2$: 37.5, or 15.7 dB, at $\beta = 5$.
- The price is 180 kHz, six times the 30 kHz AM needs for the same audio. Below an input SNR of about 10 dB the gain disappears.
Using 3β²/2, how much SNR gain, in dB, does β = 3 give? Give 1 decimal place.

$3 \times 9/2 = 13.5$, and $10\log_{10}13.5 = 11.3$ dB.
Three common slips
- Carson as exact. It is a 98%-power estimate.
- $\Delta f$ for $B$. $\Delta f$ belongs to the modulator; $B$ belongs to the spectrum.
- Forgetting the threshold. Below it, FM's advantage is lost.
Raising β improves the output SNR even when the input SNR is very low.

Below the FM threshold (about 10 dB input SNR) clicks and capture take over and the gain is lost.
Recap
- $\beta = \Delta f / f_{m}$.
- $B \approx 2(\Delta f + f_{m})$.
- More bandwidth buys more SNR, but only above threshold.
Match each quantity to its meaning.

The modulator sets Δf; β and B follow from it and the message.
