Amplitude Modulation Question 1:
For an over modulated AM wave the modulation index is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Amplitude Modulation Question 1 Detailed Solution
- For μ < 1, the AM wave is said to be under modulated.
- For μ > 1, the AM wave is said to be over modulated.
- For μ = 1, the AM wave is said to be critically modulated.
- 100% modulation is where the modulating signal drives the carrier to zero and is theoretically the maximum modulation that can be successfully demodulator by a regular AM envelope detector.
A general Amplitude modulation process is as shown:
Amplitude Modulation Question 2:
A transmitter puts out a total power of 2.09 Watts of 30% AM signal. How much power is contained in each of the sidebands?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Amplitude Modulation Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Power of a transmitted AM wave is given as:
\(P_t = {P_c}\left( {1 + \frac{{{μ ^2}}}{2}} \right)\)
\(P_t = {P_c} + P_c\frac{μ ^2}{2}\)
Power in the carrier = Pc
Power in both the sidebands is given by:
\(P_s= \frac{{{P_c}{μ^2}}}{2}\)
Since the power is distributed equally to the left and to the right side of the sideband, the power in one of the sidebands is given by:
\(P_{s1}= \frac{{{P_c}{u^2}}}{4}\)
Analysis:
We know that:
\({P_t} = {P_c}\left( {1 + \frac{{{\mu ^2}}}{2}} \right)\)
\(2.09 = {P_c}\left( {1 + \frac{{0.09}}{2}} \right)\)
\(\therefore {P_c} = 2\;Watts\)
Power in each sideband is:
\({P_{SB}} = {P_c}~\frac{{{\mu ^2}}}{4} = \frac{{2\left( {0.09} \right)}}{4}\)
\( = 0.045\;Watts\)
Amplitude Modulation Question 3:
The value of modulation index (m) must be ______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Amplitude Modulation Question 3 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
In AM modulation Index is defined as:
\(μ = \frac{{{A_m}}}{{{A_c}}} = \frac{{{A_{max}} - {A_{min}}}}{{{A_{max}} + {A_{min}}}}\)
Where Am = amplitude of modulating wave
Ac = amplitude of carrier wave
Clearly, it is independent of fm.
- The value of modulation varies from 0 to 1. 0 ≤ μ ≤ 1
- For μ < 1, the AM wave is said to be under modulated.
- For μ > 1, the AM wave is said to be over-modulated.
- For μ = 1, the AM wave is said to be critically modulated.
- 100% modulation is where the modulating signal drives the carrier to zero and is theoretically the maximum modulation that can be successfully demodulator by a regular AM envelope detector.
A general Amplitude modulation process is as shown:
Amplitude Modulation Question 4:
An amplitude modulated signal is given as [A + 0.3 A cos ωm t] cos ωc t
The modulation index and the power efficiency are ______Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Amplitude Modulation Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The general amplitude modulated signal expression is:
\({\rm{s}}\left( {\rm{t}} \right) = {{\rm{A}}_{\rm{c}}}\left( {1 + {\rm{\mu }}\cos {{\rm{\omega }}_{\rm{m}}}{\rm{t}}} \right)\cos {{\rm{\omega }}_{\rm{c}}}{\rm{t}}\)
A single tone modulated signal is given as:
Maximum envelope: Ac (1+μ)
Minimum envelope: Ac (1-μ)
Where Ac is the carrier amplitude and μ is the modulation index.
\(P_c= \frac{{A_c^2}}{2}\)
The total power of an amplitude-modulated signal is given by:
\(P_t = P_c\;\left( {1 + \frac{{{\mu ^2}}}{2}} \right)\)
Sideband power = Total power – Carrier power
\(Efficiency = \frac{{Sideband\;power}}{{Total\;power}}\)
Analysis:
XAM(t) = [A + 0.3 A cos ωmt] cos ωc t
= A [1 + 0.3 cos ωmt] cos ωc t
By comparing with the standard equation
μ → 0.3
Power efficiency
= \(\frac{{\frac{{{P_c}\;{\mu ^2}}}{2}}}{{{P_c}\left( {1 + \frac{{{\mu ^2}}}{2}} \right)}}\)
= \(\frac{{{\mu ^2}}}{{{\mu ^2} + 2}}\)
= \(\frac{{{{\left( {0.3} \right)}^2}}}{{{{\left( {0.3} \right)}^2} + 2}}\)
= 0.04306
% power efficiency = 0.04306 × 100
= 4.306%
Amplitude Modulation Question 5:
A scheme in which several channels are interleaved and then transmitted together is known as
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Amplitude Modulation Question 5 Detailed Solution
A scheme in which several channels are interleaved and then transmitted together is known as Frequency division multiplexing.
In Frequency division multiplexing signals occupy a range of frequency and two adjacent signals are separated by guard band to prevent mixing.
All the multiplexed signals are then transmitted simultaneously
Amplitude Modulation Question 6:
A signal of 10 kHz bandwidth is to be transmitted through a channel that introduces 20 dB loss and white noise of two-sided power spectral density 10-9 W/Hz. The minimum received output SNR should be 40 dB. Find the minimum transmitter power if the message is sent by SSB.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Amplitude Modulation Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:-
For SSB the output SNR is:-
\(\frac{{{S_0}}}{{{N_0}}} = \frac{{{S_i}}}{{\eta {f_m}}}\)
Calculation:-
Given,
\(\frac{\eta }{2} = {10^{ - 9}}\;W/Hz\)
fm = 10 kHz
Channel loss = 20 dB
\(\frac{{{S_i}}}{{n{f_m}}} = 40\;dB = {10^4}\)
∴ Si = 104 × 10-9 × 2 × 10 × 103
= 0.2 W
Required minimum signal strength at the receiver input
Si = 0.2 W
Required minimum signal strength at the transmitter output:-
Si × 20 dB = 0.2 × 102 = 20 W
Important note:-
For DBS-C, signal energy available in sideband = \(\frac{{{S_i}}}{3}\)
Then, required minimum output SNR
= \(\frac{{\frac{{{S_i}}}{3}}}{{\eta {f_m}}}\)
Amplitude Modulation Question 7:
What polarization is employed in an AM broadcasting?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Amplitude Modulation Question 7 Detailed Solution
In AM broadcasting, vertical polarization is employed because of:
(i) Absorption of the wave of a negligible chance due to physical obstacles or environmental
conditions
(ii) The alignment of the Antenna is vertical generally.
So option (4) is correct.
Important Points:
The polarization of a wave is an orientation of the electric-field line during wave propagation.
Generally, Polarization has three kinds:
- AM signals are polarized, as shown by the directional response of an AM radio to a radio signal.
- When it is aligned with the magnetic component of radio waves, the internal-loop antenna picks up the signal, but when it is at right angles, it doesn't.
- Vertical AM transmitting antennae broadcast vertically polarized radio waves (electric field has a vertical orientation).
Amplitude Modulation Question 8:
The ring modulator is generally used for generating
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Amplitude Modulation Question 8 Detailed Solution
The ring modulator and balanced modulator is generally used for the modulation of DSB SC signal.
SSB/SC is generated using a balanced modulator
Amplitude Modulation Question 9:
An amplitude-modulated analog waveform has a maximum amplitude Amax and a minimum amplitude Amin (a positive value), then the modulation index is given by
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Amplitude Modulation Question 9 Detailed Solution
Concept:
A single tone modulated signal is given as:
Maximum envelope Amax : Ac (1+μ)
Minimum envelope Amin : Ac (1-μ)
\(\frac{{{A_{max}}}}{{{A_{min}}}} = \frac{{1 + μ}}{{1 - μ}}\)
The above can be written as:
\(μ = \frac{{{A_{max}} - {A_{min}}}}{{{A_{max}} + {A_{min}}}}\)
Amplitude Modulation Question 10:
The modulation technique that takes the lowest bandwidth among the given
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Amplitude Modulation Question 10 Detailed Solution
The modulation technique that takes the lowest bandwidth is SSB-SC
Single Side Band (SSB SC):
1) SSB SC is a form of amplitude modulation where only a single sideband is transmitted and 1 sideband and carrier are suppressed.
2) The advantage of SSB is bandwidth and power-saving over both conventional AM and DSB SC, i.e. DSB SC has a more power consumption than SSB SC.
3) The Bandwidth requirement is only fm, ∴ It needs half the bandwidth than the DSB-SC transmission.
