ECE 004

1. We wish to transmit the information signal Vm = 5 sin( 2π*6,000t)t Volts.

a) Calculate the wavelength of the given signal.
b.) Would it be practical to directly transmit this information signal using an antenna?
Why/why not?
c.) Suppose a carrier signal of vc = 10 sin(2π*250,000)t Volts is amplitude-modulated by
the information signal given above. What would be the modulation signal?
d. Sketch the resulting AM signal in the frequency domain
e. Sketch the resulting AM signal in the time domain.

2. In the figure shown below,Vmax is measured as 5.9 V and Vmin measured as 1.2 V

a. Determine the value of Vc.

b.) Determine the value of Vm
c.) Determine the modulation index
d.) Suppose we can change the value of Vm. What is the maximum value that we
could use for Vm without causing overmodulation?

3. Calculate the power saved in an Amplitude Modulated wave when it is transmitted

with 45% modulation
a.) Without carrier
b.) Without carrier and a sideband

4. For an AM DSBFC wave with a peak unmodulated carrier voltage of 10 V and a load
resistance of 10 ohms:
(a) Determine the peak and rms powers of the carrier, the USF, and the LSF.
(b) Determine the total power of the modulated wave for a modulation coefficient of
0.5.
(c) Draw the power spectrum.
