Here, PC = 800W,
m = 0.5

therefore,

PT = 800 (1+ (0.5)2/2) = 900 W

d. 280 W, 2187.5 W, 750.25 W

ANSWER: (a) 1458 W, 2187.5 W, 729.25 W

Explanation:
a) PC=I2R = (5.4)2*50 = 1458W

b) IT = Ic√(1+m2/2) = 5.4√(1+12/2)
=6.614 A

PT = IT 2R
= (6.614)2 * 50
= 2187.25 W

c) PSB = PT – PC
= 2187.25 – 1458 W
= 729.25W (for two bands)

For single band, PSB = 729.25/2
= 364. 625 W

a. 80%
b. 67%
c. 50%
d. 100%

ANSWER: (b) 67%

Explanation:
Ptotal = 9.8KW

Pc = 8KW

Power of the signal (Ptotal) transmitted by a transmitter after modulation is given by

Ptotal = Pc (1+ m2/2)

Where Pc is the power of carrier i.e., without modulation

M is the modulation index

Therefore,
9.8= 8 (1+ m2/2)
9.8/8=1+ m2/2
m=0.67 = 67%

20)   When AM signal is of 25KHz, calculate the number of channels required in Medium Frequency (MF) band of 300KHz-3000KHz.

a. 94
b. 69
c. 85
d. 54

ANSWER: (d) 54

Explanation:
Medium Frequency (MF) is the band of frequencies from 300 KHz to 3MHz. The lower portion of the MF band (300to 500 kilohertz) is used for ground-wave transmission for reasonably long distances. The upper and lower ends of the mf band are used for naval purpose.

Frequency available in MF band= 3000 – 300 = 2700 KHz

The bandwidth required by 25 KHz signal = 2 * 25= 50 KHz

Therefore the number of channels available = 2700/ 50 = 54

a. 0.8544
b. 0.6788
c. 0.9999
d. 0.5545

ANSWER: (a) 0.8544

Explanation:
Here, m1 = 0.8
m2 = 0.3
total modulation index mt = √( m1 2 + m2 2 )
= √( 0.82 + 0.32 )
= √ 0.73
= 0.8544

ANSWER: (a) 2000.35, 1999.65 and 2000.6, 1999.4

Explanation:
The frequencies obtained in the spectrum after the amplitude modulation are
fc + fm and fc + fm
therefore,

the available frequencies after modulation by 0.350 KHz are
2000KHz + 0.350 KHz = 2000.35 and 2000KHz – 0.350 KHz = 1999.65

the available frequencies after modulation by 0.6 KHz are
2000KHz + 0 .6 KHz = 2000.6 and 2000KHz – 0.6 KHz = 1999.4

24)   If an AM signal is represented by

b. 1.9 MHz and 18 KHz, 0.2, 16 KHz
c. 2.4 MHz and 18 KHz, 0.2, 16 KHz
d. 1.6 MHz and 8 KHz, 0.2, 16 KHz

ANSWER: (d) 1.6 MHz and 8 KHz, 0.2, 16 KHz

Explanation:
The amplitude modulated wave equation is
v = ( 10 + 2 Sin( 2Π * 8 * 103 t) ) * Sin (2Π * 1.6 * 106 t) volts

Instantaneous value of AM signal is represented by the equation
v = {Vc + Vm Sin ( ωm t )} * Sin (ωc t )
comparing it with the given equation,

Vc = 10 V
Vm = 2V
ωc (= 2Π fc) = 2Π * 1.6 * 106
ωm (= 2Π fm) = 2Π * 8 * 103

(i) The carrier frequency fc is = 1.6 * 106 = 1.6 MHz
The modulating frequency fm is = 8* 103 = 8 kHz

(ii) The modulation index m = Vm/Vc = 2/10 = 0.2

(iii) The bandwidth BW = 2 fm = 16 kHz

25)   An AM signal has a total power of 48 Watts with 45% modulation. Calculate the power in the carrier and the sidebands.

a. 39.59 W, 4.505 W
b. 40.59 W, 4.205 W
c. 43.59 W, 2.205 W
d. 31.59 W, 8.205 W

ANSWER: (c) 43.59 W, 2.205 W

Explanation:
Given that Pt = 48 W

Modulation index m = 0.45

The total power in an AM is given by
Pt = Pc ( 1 + m2/2)
= Pc ( 1 +0.452/2)
48 = Pc * 1.10125

Therefore, Pc = 48/ 1.10125
= 43.59 W
The total power in two sidebands is 4843.59 = 4.41 W
So the power in each sideband is 4.41/2 = 2.205 W

26)   Calculate the power saved in an Amplitude Modulated wave when it is transmitted with 45% modulation
– Without carrier
– Without carrier and a sideband

a. 90%, 95%
b. 82%, 91%
c. 82%, 18%
d. 68%, 16%

ANSWER: (a) 90%, 95%

Explanation:
i) The total power in an AM is given by
Pt = Pc ( 1 + m2/2)

Given: m = 0.45
Therefore Pt = Pc ( 1 + 0.452/2 )
Pt= Pc *1.10125
Pc/ Pt = 1/1.10125
= 0.908
= 90%

This shows that the carrier occupies 90% of total power. So 90% of total power may be saved if carrier is suppressed in the AM signal.

(ii) If one of the sidebands is also suppressed, half of the remaining power will be saved
i.e., 10/2 = 5 %. So a total of 95% (90% + 5% ) will be saved when carrier and a side band are suppressed.

27)   What is the carrier frequency in an AM wave when its highest frequency component is 850Hz and the bandwidth of the signal is 50Hz?

a. 80 Hz
b. 695 Hz
c. 625 Hz
d. 825 Hz

ANSWER: (d) 825 Hz

Explanation:
Upper frequency = 850Hz

Bandwidth = 50Hz

Therefore lower Frequency = 850 – 50= 800 Hz

Carrier Frequency = (850-800)/2
= 825 Hz

28)   Noise figure of merit in SSB modulated signal is

a. 1

a. 32%
b. 28.5%
c. 64%
d. 40%

ANSWER:(b) 28.5%

Explanation:
It = Ic √(1+ m2/2)
10.4= 10 √(1+ m2/2)
√ (1+ m2/2) = 1.04

Therefore m = 0.285
= 28.5%

31)   What is the change in the value of transmitted power when the modulation index changes from 0 to 1?

a. 100%
b. Remains unchanged
c. 50%
d. 80%

ANSWER: (c) 50%

Explanation:
Pt = Pc ( 1 + m2/2)

Pt= Pc ( 1 + 02/2) = Pc ..(1)

New total power Pt1= Pc ( 1 + 12/2)
= Pc *3/2 ..(2)
(2) / (1),

We get , Pt1/ Pt= 3/2= 1.5
Pt1= 1.5 Pt
i.e. there is increase in total power by 50%

b. 50 KHz
c. 102 KHz
d. 150 KHz

ANSWER: (c) 102 KHz

Explanation:
According to Carson's rule, bandwidth of FM is given by 2(Δf+ fm) where Δf is the deviation in frequency and fm is the frequency of sinusoidal signal. The required bandwidth is therefore calculated as
2 * (50KHz + 1KHz)
= 2 * 51 KHz
= 102 KHz

a. 17.2 KHz
b. 19.6 KHz
c. 25.6 KHz
d. 14.6 KHz

ANSWER:  (a) 17.2 KHz

Explanation:
Deviation in FM is given by Δf = kf * Am
Therefore, kf = Δf/ Am
= 5.2/2.6
= 2
When voltage changes to 8.6V = Am
New frequency deviation Δf = kf * Am
= 2* 8.6
= 17.2 KHz

a. 40 Hz
b. 58 Hz
c. 24 Hz
d. Bandwidth remains unaffected

ANSWER:  (c) 24 Hz

Explanation:
According to Carson's rule, the bandwidth required is twice the sum of the maximum frequency deviation and the maximum modulating signal frequency. Or,
B=2(Δf +fm) Hz
B= 2(Δf +12) Hz = 2 Δf + 24 Hz (1)
Assuming Δf to be constant,
B = 2 Δf + 48 Hz (2)
(2)-(1),
= 24Hz
Therefore the bandwidth changes by 24Hz.
