What is the primary reason for maintaining a constant amplitude of the carrier in FM?

To reduce the total transmitted power
To prevent interference from other signals
To maintain the overall amplitude of the FM wave constant (correct)
To ensure the side bands are separated from each other by the frequency of the modulating signal

What is the deviation ratio in FM?

The ratio of the modulating signal frequency to the carrier frequency
The ratio of actual frequency deviation to the maximum allowed frequency deviation
The ratio of side bands to the carrier frequency
The ratio of maximum permitted frequency deviation to the maximum permitted audio frequency (correct)

What is the expression for the bandwidth of an FM signal?
