Question:easy

A speech signal given by 11 sin(2200 \( \pi \)t) V is used for amplitude modulation with a carrier signal given by 44 sin(6600 \( \pi \)t) V. The minimum amplitude of modulated wave will be :

Show Hint

In amplitude modulation the envelope varies between Ac + Am and Ac - Am; read the amplitudes from the two sine terms.

  • 33 V
  • 55 V
  • 8.25 V
  • 13.75 V
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: The AM wave is y = (Ac + Am sin \(\omega\)mt) sin \(\omega\)ct = Ac(1 + \(\mu\) sin \(\omega\)mt) sin \(\omega\)ct with \(\mu\) = Am/Ac = 11/44 = 1/4.
Step 2: The envelope is smallest when sin \(\omega\)mt = -1: Amin = Ac(1 - \(\mu\)) = 44 × (1 - 0.25) = 44 × 0.75.
Step 3: Amin = 33 V.
Answer: (A) 33 V
