communication-systems Question 34

Question: Q. 2. (i) How is amplitude modulation achieved ?

(ii) The frequencies of two side bands in an AM wave are 640kHz and 660kHz respectively. Find the frequencies of carrier and modulating signal. What is the bandwidth required for amplitude modulation? R[2017, OD set-1]

Show Answer

Solution:

Ans. (i) Amplitude modulation can be achieved by applying the message signal, and the carrier wave, to a non linear (square law device) followed by a band pass filter.

(Alternatively, The student may just draw the block diagram.)

Acsinωct

(Alternatively, Amplitude modulation is achieved by superposing a message signal on a carrier wave in a way that causes the amplitude of the carrier wave to change in accordance with the message signal.) (ii) Frequencies of side bands are :

(vc+vm) and (vcvm)
and vc+vm =660kHz
vcvm =640kHz
vc =650kHz
vm =10kHz
Bandwidth =(660640)kHz
=20kHz
