According to eric naevdal in his 2001 article optimal regulation of eutrophying lakes, fjordes, and rivers in the presence of threshold effects, the use of threshold effects is widespread in natural and social sciences alike. Now the term threshold effect was given so because in the field of business a phenomenon is observed in which the sales of that particular company surpasses a specific and fixed quantitative limit which is known as the threshold, hence. For example, a disease or syndrome may appear without warning after a long period of quiet development, or. Using a spectrum analyzer, adjust the audio frequency until the carrier amplitude vanishes. A laboratory investigation of the fm threshold phenomenon has resulted in the development of several signal processing techniques that can be implemented at the out put of any fm demodulator including the phase lock loop and frequency modulation feedback demodulator to provide improved system performance. This results in sharp noise bursts punctuating the receiver output and. Threshold compressor the threshold control adjusts when the compressor starts to affect the signal.
These techniques include impulsenoise elimination, signal correlation for the detection of impulse noise, and delta modulation signal processing.

The study gave a proper insight on how the threshold effect affects the performance of fm systems by giving detailed report on the occurrence. The threshold point occurs around when signal power is 10 time noise power. Communication fundamentals envelope of a bandpass signal a signals gt is a bandpass signal if its fourier transform is nonnegligible only in a band of frequencies of total extent 2w centered about fc.
Comparison of pcm and analog modulation electronics post. An important aspect of analogue fm satellite systems is fm threshold effect. In fm systems where the signal level is well above noise received carriertonoise ratio and demodulated signaltonoise ratio are related by. Capture effect inherent ability of fm to reject undesired signals not only applies to noise, but also to reception of undesired stations at same or nearby frequencies receiver locks on stronger signal and suppress weaker but can fluctuate back and forth when the two are nearly equal e. Fm threshold and methods of limiting its effect on. For example, in the case of national merit awards, the threshold c would affect the total the number of students who get such awards, which could in turn affect the difference in probability of getting a scholarship, and hence the treatment effect, of giving.
