Advantages and disadvantages of FM over AM:

Advantages of FM over AM are:

1. Less radiated power.
2. Low distortion due to mproved signal to noise ratio (about 25dB) w.r.t. to man
made interference.
3. Smaller geographical interference between neighbouring stations.
4. Well defined service areas for given transmitter power.
Disadvantages of FM:
1. Much more Bandwidth (as much as 20 times as much).
2. More complicated receiver and transmitter.

Applications:

Some of the applications of the FM modulation are listed below:

I. FM Radio,(88-108 MHz band, 75 kHz, )
II. TV sound broadcast, 25 kHz,
III. 2-way mobile radio, 5 kHz / 2.5 kHz.
