Carson's Rule
PrintCarson's rule defines the approximate modulation bandwidth required for a carrier signal that is frequency-modulated by a spectrum of frequencies rather than a single frequency. The Carson bandwidth rule is expressed by the relation CBR = 2(Δf + fm) where CBR is the bandwidth requirement, Δf is the carrier peak deviation frequency, and fm is the highest modulating frequency.
