MONTHLY TEST I – EVEN SEMESTER 2015
DEPARTMENT: ECE Date: 30/01/2015 (AN)
CLASS : II ECE (A & B & C) Max. Mark: 50
SUBJECT : Analog Communication Max. Time: 90minutes

PART A Marks (5  2=10)

1. The output power of an AM transmitter is 1KW when sinusoidally modulated to a depth
of 100%. Calculate the power in each sideband when modulation depth is reduced to
50%.
2. Why SSB modulation is suitable for transmission of speech signals and not for video
signals? Justify.
3. Compare AM and FM in terms of power, bandwidth sidebands and noise interferences.
4. Discuss the relationship between FM and PM.
5. A carrier of frequency 100 MHz is frequency modulated by a signal
x(t )  20 Sin(200 103 t ) . What is the bandwidth of the FM signal if the frequency
sensitivity of the modulator is 25 KHz per Volt.

PART B (2  15=30)

6. (a) Derive an expression for AM wave and draw its frequency spectrum. Calculate the
power relation of AM waveform. (11)

b) An AM transmitter has un-modulated carrier power of 10 KW. It can be modulated by

sinusoidal modulating voltage to a maximum depth of 40% without overloading. If the
maximum modulation index is reduced to 30%, what is the extent up to which the
unmodulated carrier power can be increased to avoid overloading. (4)

7. a) With neat block diagram explain in detail about low level and high level transmitter
(8)
b) With neat sketches, explain any one method of generation of DSBSC modulation
system and mention its advantages over AM modulation. (7)

8. (a) Derive the mathematical expression of WBFM wave and explain the significance of
its sidebands (11)
(b) The equation for an FM wave is s (t )  10 Sin[5.7 10 t  5Sin12 10 t ] . Calculate
