1. (a) Define communication. Explain with block diagram the basic communication system. Write
about modern communication system.
(b) A carrier wave of frequency 10 MHz and peak value of 10 V is amplitude modulated by a 5 KHz
sine wave of amplitude 6 V. Determine the modulation index and draw the one sided spectrum
of modulated wave. [8+8]
2. (a) Consider the wave obtained by adding a non coherent carrier Ac cos (2 Π fc t + ϕ) to DSB-SC
wave m(t) cos (2 Π fc t ) where X (t) is the message waveform. This waveform is applied to an
ideal envelope detector. Find the resulting detector out put. Evaluate the output for.
i. ϕ = 0 and
ii. ϕ =
6 0 and |X (t)| << Ac /2.
(b) Explain the DSB-SC generation by balanced modulator using FET amplifiers.

(b) i. Prove that the signal s(t) = cos [(ωc t) cos (ωi t + Φi ) − sin (ωc t) sin (ωi t + Φi )] is an SSB
i=1
signal (fc >> fN ), where ωc = 2fc , carrier angular frequency and ωi = 2Πfi is modulating
angular frequency. Identify the side band.
ii. Obtain an expression for missing side band.
iii. Obtain an expression of the total DSB-SC signal. [4+12]
4. (a) Distinguish between phase and frequency modulation. Show that FM can be derived using PM
and vice versa with the help of differentiator or integrator networks.
(b) Explain with the block diagram the Armstrong method of FM generation.

(b) What the special features of Delayed AGC. [16]
8. (a) What is the fundamental difference between pulse modulation, on the one hand, and frequency
and amplitude modulation on the other?
(b) What is pulse width modulation? What other names does it have? How is it demodulated? [16]
