Loading Factors and FDM-FM System Performance Calculations

Book excerpt: This supplement was written for the purpose of extending the scope of the original paper, by providing a more complete set of system-performance design equations, which apply to the Frequency Division Multiplex--Frequency Modulation type of multichannel telecommunication systems; these equations may be used for various types, and combinations of types, of message signals. The page numbers of this paper correspond to the pages in "The National Bureau of Standards Technical Note 100", on the topic of FDM-FM systems-performance calculations, based primarily on the FM radio receiver transfer function. The referenced page numbers and equation numbers in this paper refer, of course, to NBS Technical Note 100.
