4. What is pre-emphasis and how is it used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of FM transmissions?

What is the theory for pre-emphasis and de-emphasis?

Pre-emphasis works by boosting the high-frequency portion of the signal. This compensates for the high-frequency loss in the cable. De-emphasis works by cutting the low-frequency portion of the signal. This may be coupled with an increased transmit voltage.

What are the cutoff frequencies of pre-emphasis and de-emphasis?

De-emphasis circuit will have cutoff frequency of about 2123 Hz. To bring the signal back to normal level, all the frequency components above 2123 Hz is attenuated at 6dB/octave. As explained, pre-emphasis operation performed at the transmitter is compensated by de-emphasis operation at the receiver.

How does pre-emphasis work?

In high speed digital transmission, pre-emphasis is used to improve signal quality at the output of a data transmission. In transmitting signals at high data rates, the transmission medium may introduce distortions, so pre-emphasis is used to distort the transmitted signal to correct for this distortion.

What is pre-emphasis and how is it used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of FM transmissions?

In FM broadcasting, preemphasis improvement is the improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio of the high-frequency portion of the baseband, i.e., modulating signal, which improvement results from passing the modulating signal through a preemphasis network before transmission.
