Difference Between Wideband Frequency Modulation and Narrowband Frequency Modulation

Wideband FM has a modulation index greater than 1, maximum deviation of 75 kHz, and bandwidth about 15 times higher than narrowband FM. It is used for entertainment broadcasting like radio. Narrowband FM has a modulation index less than 1, maximum deviation of 5 kHz, bandwidth similar to AM, and is used for mobile communication systems like police radios. Both require pre-emphasis and de-emphasis.

Difference between wideband frequency modulation and narrowband frequency modulation.

WIDEBAND FM:
Parameters :
1. modulation index : Greater than 1
2. maximum deviation: 75 kHz
3. range of modulating frequency: 30 Hz to 15 kHz
4. maximum modulation index: 5 to 2500
5. bandwidth : large,about 15 times higher than BW of narrowband FM
6. applications : entertainment broadcasting
7. pre-emphasis and de-emphasis : is needed.

NARROWBAND FM:
parameters :
1.modulation index: less than or slightly greater than 1
2. maximum deviation: 5kHz
3. range of modulating frequency : 30 Hz to 3 kHz
4. maximum modulation index : slightly greater than 1
5. bandwidth : small.approximately same as that of AM
6. applications: FM mobile communication like police wireless,ambulance etc
7. pre-emphasis and de-emphasis : is needed.
