What does pre-emphasis do?

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 does pre-emphasis filter do?

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 is pre-emphasis circuit?

Pre-emphasis circuit is a high pass filter or differentiator which allows high frequencies to pass, whereas de-emphasis circuit is a low pass filter or integrator which allows only low frequencies to pass.

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

Preemphasis increases the magnitude of the higher signal frequencies, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio. At the output of the discriminator in the FM receiver, a deemphasis network restores the original signal power distribution.
