CBSEENPH12039411

A carrier wave of peak voltage 15 V is used to transmit a message signal. Find the peak voltage of the modulating signal in order to have a modulation index of 60%.

Solution

It is given that peak voltage of carrier wave, Ac = 15V

and, Modulation index, mu = 60% = 60/100

Then, the peak voltage of the modulating signal (Am) will be given by the relation,

μ = AmAc60% = 15 VAcAc =1560 x 100 = 25 V
