Chapter 6 Exercise

1. At what speed does an electronic signal gets transmitted via amplitude modulation of a
LED?
2. Consider the amplifier connected to a 6.0 source with its characteristics as shown on the
left along with the electronic signal that goes through it shown in the right:

a. What is the gain of the amplifier?

b. Sketch the output signal.
c. As there is clipping in the output signal, what should the source voltage be increased
to remove clipping?
3. A transmitter uses an infrared LED to transmit signal via amplitude modulation of a high
frequency carrier wave. Suppose the transmitter is used to transmit a triangular wave pulse
as shown:

Sketch how to carrier wave is modulated.

4. An input signal is fed into an amplifier and an output signal is obtained as shown
respectively:

Sketch the characteristic graph of the amplifier.

5. Why is clipping undesirable for an amplifier?
6. An inverting amplifier with gain of

600 has a clipping voltage of 2.5

has a

characteristic curve and a signal is put through it as shown:

Sketch the output signal.

7. An input signal is fed into an amplifier and an output signal is obtained as shown
respectively:

Sketch the characteristic of the amplifier.
