FM Communication (Frequency Modulation Communication)
1. What is FM Communication?
FM (Frequency Modulation) is a method of transmitting information over radio waves by varying the frequency of a carrier wave while keeping its amplitude constant. It is widely used for radio broadcasting, two-way communication, and audio transmission.
2. How FM Communication Works
- A message signal (e.g., audio or voice) modulates a carrier wave by changing its frequency.
- The receiver demodulates the signal, extracting the original message.
- Unlike AM (Amplitude Modulation), FM is less prone to noise and interference.
3. Applications of FM Communication
✅ FM Radio Broadcasting – Used in commercial and public radio stations (88–108 MHz).
✅ Two-Way Radios – Police, military, and aviation use FM for clear communication.
✅ Television Sound – Older analog TV sound transmission used FM.
✅ Wireless Microphones – Used in events, concerts, and broadcasting.
✅ Satellite and Space Communication – FM is used in deep-space and satellite transmissions.
4. Advantages of FM Communication
✔ Better sound quality – Less affected by noise and interference.
✔ Higher bandwidth – Allows stereo and high-fidelity audio.
✔ More reliable – Works well in challenging environments.
5. Disadvantages of FM Communication
✖ Uses more bandwidth than AM.
✖ Complex receiver design compared to AM.
