Why is a AM signal likely to be more noisy than a FM signal upon transmission through a channel?

उत्तर

In AM, the carrier wave's instantaneous voltage is varied by modulating wave voltage. On transmission, noise signals can also be added and the receiver assumes noise is a part of the modulating signal.

However, in FM, the carrier frequency is changed as per modulating wave's instantaneous voltage. This can only be done at the mixing/ modulating stage and not while the signal is transmitting in a channel. Hence, noise doesn’t effect the FM signal.
