MCQs on Analog Modulation(AM FM)

AM radio limits the upper modulating frequency to 5 kHz. This results in a

maximum bandwidth of 10 kHz.

AM radio ranges from 535 to 1700 kHz or up to 1200 bits per second. FM radio ranges in a

higher spectrum from 88.1 to 108.1MHz

Commercial FM signals use a peak frequency deviation of ∆f = 75 kHz and a maximum

baseband message frequency of fm = 15 kHz. Carson's rule estimates
the FM signal bandwidth as BT = 2(75 + 15) = 180 kHz

BW and Frequency range calculation is different scenario.
