Frequency modulation can be described as changing the length of the radio wave. Amplitude modulation changes the wave's strength. Interference noises can simulate amplitude modulation and therefore disturb signals broadcast by this system, but they do not simulate frequency modulation. Thus frequency-modulated signals skip neatly past the interference, whether lightning bolt or icebox motor. One catch is that ultrashort wave length of limited range must be used...
