Problem 9.18. Suppose that the spectrum of a modulating signal occupies the frequency 
band 1 2f f f≤ ≤ . To accommodate this signal, the receiver of an FM system (without 
pre-emphasis) uses an ideal band-pass filter connected to the output of the frequency 
discriminator; the filter passes frequencies in the interval 1 2f f f≤ ≤ . Determine the 
output signal-to-noise ratio and figure of merit of the system in the presence of additive 
white noise at the receiver input. 
 
Solution 
Since the post detection filter is no longer an ideal brickwall filter, we must revert to Eq. 
(9.58) to compute the post-detection noise power. For this scenario (similar to Problem 
9.17)
