Re: DAB sounds like decent AM

DAB sounds worse than FM wrote:

The L-R is not AM at all. FM has a massive SNR advantage over AM, so
irrespective of the fact that the L-R bit is upconverted using a kind of AM
modulation it still cannot be described as being an AM transmission.



But do not forget that a lot of FM's SNR advantage over AM is sacrificed owing to the high deviation caused by the stereo suppressed subcarrier. One reason why the BBC used to switch the pilot tone off for mono transmissions in the early days of stereo.
