EKT 313 TUTORIAL 2

1. Can intelligence be sent without a carrier? If so, how?
2. How is the output power of an SSB transmitter expressed?
3. Explain how u could transmit two independent baseband information signals by using
SSB on a common carrier frequency.
4. Can an information signal have a higher frequency than the carrier signal? What would
happen if a 1kHz signal amplitude-modulated a 1kHz carrier signal.
5. The maximum peak-to-peak value of an AM wave is 45V. The peak-to-peak value of
modulating signal is 20V.what is the percentage modulation?
6. An AM radio transmitter operating on 3.9MHz is modulated by frequencies up to 4kHz.
What are the maximum upper and lower side frequencies? What is the total bandwidth of
the AM signal?
7. How much power appears in one sideband of an AM signal of a 5 kW transmitter
modulated by 80 percent?
8. What is the total power supplied by an AM transmitter with a carrier power of 2500W and
the modulation of 77 percent?
9. An AM signal has a 12W carrier and 1.5W in each sideband. What is the percentage of
modulation?
10. One of the simplest amplitude modulators is the diode modulator. Design and explain the
operation of the circuit so that it can modulate the carrier signal at 0.5 modulation index,
m using 5 kHz audio signal.
11. Describe the two basic ways in which amplitude modulator circuit generate AM.
12. How does a differential amplifier modulator work?
13. What is the most critical component value in a diode detector circuit? Explain.
14. What is the basic component in a synchronous detector? What operates this component?
15. What signals does a balanced modulator generate? Eliminate?
16. What type of balanced modulator uses transformers and diodes?
17. What is the most commonly used filter in a filter-type SSB generator?
18. What is the most difficult part of producing SSB for voice signals by using the phasing
methods?
19. An SSB generator has a 9MHzcarrier and is used to pass voice frequencies in the 300 to
3300 Hz range. The lower sideband is selected. What is the approximate center frequency
of the filter needed to pass the lower sideband?
20. State the relative advantages and disadvantages of synchronous detectors versus other
type of amplitude demodulators.
21. An SSB signal is generated by modulating a 5MHz carrier with a 400Hz sine tone. At the
receiver the carrier is reinserted during demodulation, but its frequency is 5,00015MHz
rather than exactly 5Mhz. How does this affect the recovered signal? How would a
voice signal be affected by a carrier that is not exactly the same as the original
