I've been wracking my brain trying to remember how to do this, and searching the internet for the past 3 hours hasn't yielded anything useful. Anyways, I have a chart of bessel function values for certain sidebands. If I'm thinking of them correctly, they represent percent of peak voltage at a certain modulation index.
What I'm trying to figure out is, for instance, if you have a 1kW FM transmitter and a modulation index of 2, what is the power of the first sideband? The value on the chart is .5767 for the first sideband at a mod index of 2, but I'm not exactly sure how to apply that, and I don't think it's just a matter of simply multiplying .5767 and 1000W.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
