Problem-1) Consider a NBFM generator for which the modulation index () is restricted to be less than 0.1. The message signal has two equal amplitude frequency components, the lower one being at 50 Hz and the higher frequency component at 5 KHz. Find the maximum allowable frequency deviation at the output. Which frequency component of the message signal determines the maximum frequency deviation? Why? Explain in detail. Comment on the transmission bandwidth.

Problem-2) A periodic zero-mean square wave m(t) with frequency fm and peak amplitude Am is used to frequency modulate a carrier at center frequency fc. a- Determine the magnitude spectrum of the resulting FM wave for general frequency deviation (f) values by using the same approach described in the class. (Hint: Consider the use of Fourier Series representation.) b- Write down the conditions to be satisfied so that the FM signal in part (a) is an NBFM signal. Give the corresponding time domain expression and plot the spectrum for the NBFM signal.
