How is the bandwidth allocated in case of FM?

In Frequency Modulation (FM), bandwidth is allocated based on the modulation index, which is determined by the frequency deviation of the carrier signal and the frequency of the modulating signal. According to Carson's Rule, the total FM bandwidth is approximately twice the sum of the maximum frequency deviation and the maximum frequency of the modulating signal. This means that FM signals can occupy a wider bandwidth compared to Amplitude Modulation (AM), allowing for better noise immunity and audio quality. Typically, for standard FM broadcasting, the bandwidth is around 200 kHz.
