Which consequence results when intermodulation products exceed filter bandwidth in frequency-division multiplexing?

💡 Explanation

Channel interference leads to a reduced signal-to-noise ratio; because intermodulation products fall into adjacent frequency channels due to spectral spreading via frequency-division multiplexing. Therefore, SNR degrades, rather than improves, because proper filtering mitigates this distortion.
