Modern Physics 6 Question 22

24. A diode detector is used to detect an amplitude modulated wave of 60 modulation by using a condenser of capacity 250pF in parallel with a load resistance 100kΩ. Find the maximum modulated frequency which could be detected by it.

(2013 Main)

(a) 10.62MHz

(b) 10.62kHz

(c) 5.31MHz

(d) 5.31kHz

Show Answer

Solution:

The higher frequency which can be detected with tolerable distortion is

f=12πmaRC=12π×0.6×2.5×105Hz=100×10425×1.2πHz=41.2π×104Hz=10.61kHz
