Q2- Fill in the blanks by appropriate words:-
i- In an AM system for modulation Index m=1, each sideband contains ---------------- of the
total transmitted power.
ii- Given a carrier frequency of 100KHz and a modulating frequency of 5KHz, the bandwidth
of AM transmission is --------------------- .
iii- In the Coherent detection, local carrier generated at the ------------ is phase locked with the
carrier at the ---------------. Hence it is called ---------------- detection.
iv- The minimum distance (dmin) of hamming codes is three. Hence it can be used to
------------------- errors or correct ----------------- errors.
v- In the superhetrodyne receiver, the input at the mixer stage are ------------------- signal
and ----------------------------------- signal.
vi- In FM, modulation index depends on the -------------------- .
vii- The two limitations of delta modulation are ---------------- and ---------------------.
viii- An FM broadcast station has ----------------------- bandwidth than an AM station.
