SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating frequency deviation in frequency modulation (FM) using Carson's Rule. The input analog signal is 1.2 kHz, with a minimum bandwidth requirement of 3.6 kHz to avoid over-sampling. The signal is transmitted over a distance of 1.1 km with a bandwidth of 12 kHz on an FM carrier, specifically in the GSM reverse band at 875 MHz. The formula used is Bandwidth requirement (CBR) = 2(Δf + fm), where CBR is 12 kHz and fm is the message signal bandwidth.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of frequency modulation (FM) principles
  • Familiarity with Carson's Rule for bandwidth calculation
  • Knowledge of signal bandwidth and frequency deviation
  • Basic concepts of GSM frequency bands
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Carson's Rule in detail for FM signal analysis
  • Learn about the relationship between bandwidth and frequency deviation in FM
  • Explore GSM frequency bands and their applications in telecommunications
  • Investigate the impact of distance on signal transmission and bandwidth requirements
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, telecommunications professionals, and students studying frequency modulation and signal processing techniques.

Homework Statement


calculate the frequency deviation using an approximate technique


Homework Equations


input analogue signal is 1.2kHz
min bandwidth to avoid over-sampling is 3.6kHz
signal transmitted over 1.1km with a 12kHz bandwidth on a FM carrier
Carrier freq is in the GSM reverse band at 875MHz


The Attempt at a Solution



Bandwidth requirement (CBR) =2(Δf + fm)
0.5CBR - fm= Δf = freq deviation

does CBR=12kHz and fm=875MHz?
Don't know what goes where

CBR is the total bw estimate of the FM signal (12kHz)

fm is the bandwidth of the message signal

Δf is peak frequency deviation of the instantaneous FM frequency and depends on the amplitude of the message signal.
