Show Answer
Solution:
Ans. (i) A low frequency signal is modulated for the following purposes:
(a) It reduces the wavelength of transmitted signal, and the minimum height of antenna for effective communtication is $\lambda / 4$. Therefore height of antenna becomes practically achievable.
(b) Power radiated into the space by an antenna is inversely proportional to $\lambda^{2}$. Therefore, the power eares and signal can (ii) (a) High efficiency (b) (c) Maximum use
$1+1$ of transmitted power
1 $\mathrm{Bx}(t)+\mathrm{Cx}(t)^{2}$
In amplitude modulation, the amplitude of a carrier wave is made to vary, with time, in the same way as the modulating signal varies with time.
