Aeronautical & Aerospace Engineering : Avionics - Quiz(MCQ)

Less noise

Longer range

Lower bandwidth

Less complex circuits

Correct Answer : Less noise

Explanation : Although AM is much simpler and has a wider range due to atmospheric propagation, one of its major disadvantages is due to noise. Noise directly affects the amplitude of the signal and its hard to retrieve the original information.
