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—
-
- 12%
- 9%
- 11.1%
- 10%
- 12%
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 + | ![]() | |
2 |
= Pc | ![]() | 1 + | ![]() | |
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 = | ×100 | |
total power |
= | ×100 = 11.11% | |
1.125 |
