Communication System Question 5

Question 5 - 29 January - Shift 2

The modulation index for an A.M. wave having maximum and minimum peak to peak voltages of $14 mV$ and $6 mV$ respectively is :

(1) 1.4

(2) 0.4

(3) 0.2

(4) 0.6

Show Answer

Answer: (2)

Solution:

Formula: Modulation Index

$\mu=$ modulation index $=\frac{A _{\text{max }}-A _{\text{min }}}{A _{\text{max }}+A _{\text{min }}}$

$=\frac{14-6}{14+6}=0.4$
