Why is an AM signal likely to be more noisy than a FM signal upon transmission through a channel?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why an AM (Amplitude Modulation) signal is likely to be more noisy than an FM (Frequency Modulation) signal during transmission, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding AM and FM Modulation**: - In AM, the amplitude of the carrier wave is varied in accordance with the modulating signal (the information signal). This means that the information is encoded in the height of the wave. - In FM, the frequency of the carrier wave is varied according to the modulating signal. Here, the information is encoded in the frequency changes of the wave. ...
