Advantages of AM
 The Range of AM is greater than FM. Its range is 500 km but the range of FM is 30 km.
 AM is simple and cheaper as compare to FM.
 AM has short bandwidth.
 Coverage Area of AM is Receiver is wider than FM because atmospheric propagation.
 AM Receivers are simple, detection is easy.
 AM has use in Radio broadcasting and picture transmission in TV system.
 Am has simple to implement.
 It can be demodulated using a circuit consisting of very few components.

Advantages of FM
 Voice quality is better as compare to AM.
 Quality of Music is better as compare to AM because the bandwidth of the FM is
about 200 khz and the maximum audio frequency broadcast is 15 khz.
 Noise is less as compare to AM.
 Using FM , it is possible to transmit to same quality of information using a lower
power transmitter . therefore FM is a much more efficient process than AM.
 FM is that you can run the PA in compression and saturation mode. With Am you
care about the linearity.
 In FM does not require the linear amplifiers in the transmitter.
 FM does not rely on weather conditions .
 FM radio waves allow for the source to emit two channels of information
simultaneously , allowing for left and right audio channels, perfect for stereo quality.
 Well defined service areas for given transmitter power.
Disadvantages of AM
 Voice Quality is not better as compare to FM.
 Noise are more in AM as compare to FM.
 Weather conditions are affected by in AM.
 Signal of Am is not Stronger like FM.
 Only one sideband of AM transmits of information signal, so it loss power on
other sideband and carrier.
 AM is not suitable for stereo sound.
 Power wastage in DSB-FC transmission.
 It cannot be used for transmitting Music and Sports talks.
Disadvantages of FM
 FM has very small Range.
 FM is very expensive and complex.
 FM has require very large bandwidth.
 FM has very less coverage.
 FM has require more demodulator.
 FM has more complicated Receiver and transmitter.
