Homework - Amplitude Modulation (AM)

1. A 1.4 MHz carrier is modulated by a music signal that has frequency components from 100 Hz to 15 kHz. Determine the range of frequencies generated in the lower and upper side bands. 2. An AM broadcast station operates at its maximum allowed total output power of 50 kW and at 90% modulation. How much of the total power is intelligence? 3. An AM transmitter has fc = 400 kHz and it supplies power to a 22 load. The audio signal vm = Vm Cos 8000 t is used. Vm = 15 volts results in 100% modulation. (a) Taking Vm = 12 V, calculate ma, the carrier power, power in each side frequency, and the total power. Also calculate the peak amplitude of the modulated carrier and the peak envelope power. (b) Taking vm = 9 Cos 10000 t + 12 Cos 6000 t, sketch the spectrum of the AM wave. Also tabulate all the frequency components and their amplitudes. Find the total power delivered to a 22 load. 4. In the frequency spectrum of an AM signal, fx =490kHz, fy = 510kHz, V1 = 8V, V2 = 3.5V. (a) Give the values of the carrier frequency, audio frequency, and the modulation index. (b) Calculate the average and peak-envelope power supplied by the AM signal to a 10 Ohm load. (c) If the AM signal is applied to a tuned amplifier tuned to 500kHz with a peak gain of 10 and bandwidth of 50kHz, what is the modulation index of the output voltage.

5. The drain current iD of a JFET is given iD = ao + a1 vgs + a2 vgs2 where vgs= vm+ vc. (a) Obtain expressions for ao, a1, and a2 in terms of VGSQ, IDSS, and VP of the JFET. (b) Taking VGSQ = -1.2V, IDSS = 80 A, and VP = -2.0V, calculate the values of ao, a1, and a2. 6. Taking ao = 8mA, a1 = 20mA/V, and a2 = 10mA/V2, and vm = Cos 10000 t and vc = 2.4 Cos 2 x500x103t, tabulate all the frequency components (including dc) and their amplitudes in the waveform of iD. (Refer to the figure of Problem 5) 7. The input to the FET amplifier is an AM signal given by vi = 0.4(1+0.8 Cos 50 x103t)Cos x106t v. (a) Calculate the signal frequencies and their amplitudes in vi. (b) The amplifier is tuned to the carrier frequency and the bandwidth is set to 5fm. The FET has gm = 10 mS. (i) Calculate the values of L and C. (ii) What is the amplitude of the carrier frequency component in vo? What is the modulation index of vo?
