The correct answer is

(d) (b) (a) (c)

To determine the order of increasing bandwidth among the given modulation schemes, let's review the bandwidth requirements for each system:

  1. SSB (Single Sideband): 
    SSB requires the least bandwidth, which is equal to the message signal bandwidth \( W \). This is because only one sideband is transmitted.
  2. VSB (Vestigial Sideband): 
    VSB requires slightly more bandwidth than SSB because a vestige of the other sideband is transmitted along with one complete sideband. The bandwidth is slightly greater than \( W \).
  3. DSB-SC (Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier): 
    DSB-SC requires twice the bandwidth of the baseband signal. The bandwidth required is \( 2W \).
  4. FM (Frequency Modulation): 
    FM requires a much larger bandwidth compared to the above systems. The bandwidth of FM is determined using Carson's Rule, given by \( B = 2(\Delta f + f_m) \), where \( \Delta f \) is the frequency deviation, and \( f_m \) is the maximum modulating signal frequency. FM typically has a bandwidth much greater than the previous forms of modulation.

Given these definitions, the order of increasing bandwidth is:

  • SSB (least bandwidth)
  • VSB
  • DSB-SC
  • FM (most bandwidth)

Thus, the correct order is: SSB (d), VSB (b), DSB-SC (a), FM (c).

This corresponds to the answer: (d) (b) (a) (c)
