The carrier wave is given by c(t)=2sin(8πt)volts. (1) Sketch the amplitude modulated waveform (2) What is the modulation index? Answer – (1) The modulating signal's amplitude, Am = 1V, can be simply...
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...
For an amplitude modulated wave, the maximum amplitude is found to be 10V while the minimum amplitude is found to be 2V. Determine the modulation index, µ. What would be the value of µ if the minimum amplitude is zero volts?
Answer – According to the question, we have – Maximum Amplitude; \[{{A}_{max~}}\] = 10 V Minimum Amplitude; \[{{A}_{min}}~\]= 2 V It is quite known that the modulation index of an amplitude...
A carrier wave of peak voltage 12 V is used to transmit a message signal. What should be the peak voltage of the modulating signal in order to have a modulation index of 75%?
Answer – 9V Explanation – We are given – Amplitude of carrier wave ; \[{{A}_{c}}\] = 12 V Modulation index (m) = 75% = 0.75 Amplitude of the modulating wave = ${{A}_{m}}$ We will now use the...

Frequencies in the UHF range normally propagate by means of :
(1) Ground Waves (2) Sky Waves (3) Surface Waves (4) Space Waves ANSWER – Space Waves Explanation – An ultra-high frequency (UHF) wave cannot be reflected back by the ionosphere as the highly...
Which of the following frequencies will be suitable for beyond-the horizon communication using sky waves?
(1) 10 kHz (2) 10 MHz (3) 1 GHz (4) 1000 GHz Answer - 10 MHz In case of beyond – the – horizon communication, the signal needs to cover large distances. For a signal of frequency 10kHz, the signal...
