Communication System Question 7

Question 7 - 31 January - Shift 1

The amplitude of $15 \sin (1000 \pi t)$ is modulated by $10 \sin (4 \pi t)$ signal. The amplitude modulated signal contains frequency(ies) of

(A) $500 Hz$

(B) $2 Hz$

(C) $250 Hz$

(D) $498 Hz$

(E) $502 Hz$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(1) A only

(2) A, D and E only

(3) B only

(4) A and B only

Show Answer

Answer: (2)

Solution:

Formula: Frequency Modulation

Carrier wave frequency

$V_C=\frac{100 \pi}{2 \pi}=500 Hz$

Modulating wave frequency

$ \begin{aligned} & V_m=\frac{4 \pi}{2 \pi}=2 Hz \\ & \therefore \quad V_C-V_m, V_C, V_C+V_m \\ & \quad=498 Hz .500 Hz, 502 Hz \end{aligned} $
