Define amplitude modulation in a communication system.

एक पंक्ति में उत्तर

उत्तर

In amplitude modulation, the amplitude of the carrier wave signal is varied in accordance with the information signal. We do amplitude modulation of a signal wave by superimposing it with a carrier signal. At the receiver, the signal is then demodulated by removing the carrier signal and the original data is obtained again at the receiver end.

What is meant by term ‘modulation’? Draw a block diagram of a simple modulator for obtaining an AM signal.


Why is frequency modulation preferred over amplitude modulation for transmission of music?


Answer the following question.
If A and B represent the maximum and minimum amplitudes of an amplitude-modulated wave, write the expression for the modulation index in terms of A and B.


The maximum amplitude of an A.M. wave is found to be 15 V while its minimum amplitude is found to be 3 V. What is the modulation index?


On radiating (sending out) an AM modulated signal, the total radiated power is due to energy carried by ωc, ωc – ωm and ωc + ωm. Suggest ways to minimise cost of radiation without compromising on information.


An amplitude modulated wave is as shown in figure. Calculate

  1. the percentage modulation
  2. peak carrier voltage and
  3. peak value of information voltage.


Draw the plot of amplitude versus ‘ω’ for an amplitude modulated wave whose carrier wave (ωc) is carrying two modulating signals, ω1 and ω22 > ω1). 

  1. Is the plot symmetrical about ωc? Comment especially about plot in region ω < ωc.
  2. Extrapolate and predict the problems one can expect if more waves are to be modulated.
  3. Suggest solutions to the above problem. In the process can one understand another advantage of modulation in terms of bandwidth?
