The worst case signal-to-noise ratio at the output of an FM detector occurs when: ________

a. the desired signal is 90 degrees out of phase with the intelligence signal.
b. the desired signal is 90 degrees out of phase with the noise signal.
c. the noise signal is 90 degrees out of phase with the resultant signal of adding the signal to the noise.
d. the desired signal is 90 degrees out of phase with the resultant signal of adding the signal to the noise.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. the desired signal is 90 degrees out of phase with the intelligence signal.

Explanation:

The signal to noise ratio of FM detector is defined as function of modulation index for SSB FM signal plus narrow band Gaussian noise at input. The ratio is usually higher than 1:1 which indicates more signals than noise.
