1. An AM DSBFC transmitter with an unmodulated carrier power, Pc = 600 W that is

modulated simultaneously by four tones, m1 = 0.1, m2 = 0.2, m3 = 0.4 and m4 = 0.5,
determine the total sideband power.

2.

3. An antenna has an impedance of 40 V. An unmodulated AM signal produces a current

of 4.8 A. The modulation is 90 percent. Calculate total the sideband power in Watts.

carrier signal

9. An SSB transmitter produces a peak-to-peak voltage of 178 V across a 75-V antenna

load. What is the PEP in Watts?
