Communication Systems

Is it necessary for a transmitting antenna to be at the same height as that of the receiving antenna for line-of-sight communication? A TV transmitting antenna is 81 m tall. How much service area can it cover if the receiving antenna is at the ground level?

Answer – \[3256k{{m}^{2}}\] There is no physical obstruction between the transmitter and the receiver antennae in case of the line-of-sight communication and hence there is no such requirement that...

Due to economic reasons, only the upper sideband of an AM wave is transmitted, but at the receiving station, there is a facility for generating the carrier. Show that if a device is available which can multiply two signals, then it is possible to recover the modulating signal at the receiver station.

Answer – Let the carrier wave frequency be represented by \[{{\omega }_{c}}\] and let \[{{\omega }_{s}}\]be the signal wave frequency. Then the received signal will be given by...
