The bandwidth of an fm signal has a more complicated dependency than in the am case recall, the bandwidth of am signals depend only on the maximum modulation frequency. Amplitude modulation is one way of transmitting radio signals across large distances.
The fmmodulated signal has its instantaneous frequency that varies linearly with the amplitude of the message signal. Wideband fm w fm requires a wider bandwidth than amplitude modulation by an equivalent modulating signal, but this also makes the signal more robust against noise and interference.
