What is the modulation index?
  • Correct Answer
    The maximum carrier deviation divided by the maximum modulation frequency.

How is pre-emphasis used in an FM transceiver?
  • The lower modulation frequencies are boosted before transmitting by 3 db per octave and reduced by the same amount at the receiver.
  • Correct Answer
    The higher modulation frequencies are boosted before transmitting by 6 db per octave and reduced by the same amount at the receiver.
  • The lower modulation frequencies are boosted before transmitting by 6 db per octave and reduced by the same amount at the receiver.
