FM transmitters often use Class C amplifiers and frequency multipliers
on the modulated signal. An AM signal can not be amplified by a Class C
amplifier because of severe distortion of the modulated signal. In FM,
amplitude distortion is irrelevant no matter where it occurs, receiver
or transmitter. The recovered audio will sound just fine. It`s one of
the many advantages of FM.


The question seems to be: If an FM transmitter's output signal
is not a reasonably pure sine wave, is a low-pass filter used
between the transmitter and antenna to reduce the harmonics?
