  1. A carrier is amplitude modulated by two sinusoidal signals of different frequencies with individual modulation depths of 0.3 and 0.4. The sideband power is—
    1. 12%
    2. 9%
    3. 11.1%
    4. 10%
Correct Option: C

Given that,
μ1 = 0.3, μ2 = 0.4
μeff = √μ12+ μ22
= √(0.3)2+(0.4)2 = 0.5
Now,

Pt = Pc 1 +
μeff2
2

= Pc 1 +
0.52
2

or
Pt = Pc+0.125Pc
Where 0.125 Pc is the power in two sideband.
Now, % sideband power in two sideband.
Now, % sideband power =
sideband power
×100
total power


=
0.125
×100 = 11.11%
1.125
