[ARC5] Lopsided modulation

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

Ok, since you asked:

Carrier at 4 MHz
Modulation tone at 400 Hz
Deviation 20 ppm (not unreasonable for a VFO being pulled by a load)
First sideband at -12 dbc
Second sideband at =30 dbc 

So how far down is the AM sideband? …. that depends

The FM sideband subtracts from one AM sideband and adds to the other one. 
If The AM is at -12 dbc, you get a null on one side and 2X amplitude on the other side 

Yes, phase also matters …
