FM Frequency

What is FM Frequency?

FM (Frequency Modulation) frequency refers to the frequency range used for transmitting radio signals in the FM broadcasting system.

In North America, the standard FM frequency range is from 88 megahertz (MHz) to 108 MHz. FM radio works by varying the frequency of the radio waves to carry the audio signal. The audio signal is impressed on the carrier wave by modulating its frequency. This modulated wave is then transmitted over the airwaves at a particular frequency within the FM frequency range. To receive FM radio signals, a radio receiver must be tuned to the frequency of the desired station. The receiver includes a tuner that selects the desired frequency or station, and an antenna that receives the radio waves and converts them into an electrical signal that can be amplified and played through a speaker. FM radio provides higher fidelity sound than AM radio, making it more suitable for music broadcasts. FM radio signals are also less susceptible to interference and noise than AM radio signals. Overall, FM radio is widely used for music broadcasts, as well as for news, talk, and other types of programming. FM radio signals are typically transmitted by radio stations using high-powered transmitters located on broadcast towers, which allows them to reach a large audience within their broadcast range.
