Question:

If a carrier wave \(c(t) = A \sin \omega_c t\) is amplitude modulated by a modulator signal \(m(t) = A \sin \omega_m t\) then the equation of modulated signal \([C_m(t)]\) and its modulation index are respectively

Show Hint

In AM the carrier amplitude is varied by the message: \(C_m = (A_c + m(t))\sin\omega_c t\); modulation index \(\mu = A_m/A_c\).

  • \(C_m(t) = A(1+\sin\omega_m t)\sin\omega_c t\) and 2
  • \(C_m(t) = A(1+\sin\omega_m t)\sin\omega_m t\) and 1
  • \(C_m(t) = A(1+\sin\omega_m t)\sin\omega_c t\) and 1
  • \(C_m(t) = A(1+\sin\omega_c t)\sin\omega_m t\) and 2

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Amplitude modulated wave: \(C_m(t) = (A_c + A_m\sin\omega_m t)\sin\omega_c t\).
Here \(A_c = A\) and \(A_m = A\), so \(C_m(t) = A(1+\sin\omega_m t)\sin\omega_c t\).
Modulation index \(\mu = \dfrac{A_m}{A_c} = \dfrac{A}{A} = 1\).
This matches option (3).
Answer: (3) \(C_m(t) = A(1+\sin\omega_m t)\sin\omega_c t\) and 1
