Q1-8(1pt); Q9-17(2pts)
1. If a 5-kHz sine wave modulates a 50-kHz carrier, the upper sideband frequency will be
55 kHz. True
2. When complex signals are used to modulate the carrier, a wider spectrum of sidebands
is produced. False CORRECT ANS: TRUE
3. A time-domain display can be seen on an oscilloscope. True
4. Modulation with only single-frequency modulating signal generates only two sidebands.
True
5. A circuit that changes lower-frequency baseband or intelligence signal to a higher-
frequency signal is called a modulator. True
6. In AM, modulation index is also known as the modulating coefficient. True
7. Given a constant peak amplitude of the carrier signal, as the modulating signal voltage
increases, the modulation index also increases. True
8. Multiplying the modulation index by 100, gives the percentage of modulation in AM.
True
9. An AM wave displayed on an oscilloscope has values of Vmax = 5.3 and Vmin = 3 as read
from the graticule. What is the percentage of modulation? 27.71
10. To achieve 73 percent modulation of a carrier of Vc = 41 V, what amplitude of the
modulating signal, Vm, is needed? 29.93
11. A modulating signal consists of a symmetrical triangular wave having a zero dc
component and peak-to-peak voltage of 14.7 V. Calculate the value of modulation index
if it is used to amplitude modulate a carrier of peak voltage of 14 V. 0.53
12. An AM transmitter puts a carrier of 7.1 A into an antenna whose resistance is 50Ω. The
transmitter is modulated by 73 percent. What is the total output power? 3192.09
13. An AM signal is 79% modulated and has a carrier voltage of 71 V. What is the total
modulated voltage? 56.09 CORRECT ANS: 81.33
14. An AM signal has a 12.1-W carrier and 1.1 W in each sideband. What is the percentage
of modulation? 60.30
15. A ham transmitter has a carrier power of 723 W. How much power is added to the signal
when the transmitter is 96 percent modulated? 333.16
16. When a broadcast AM transmitter is 71% modulated, its antenna current is 11.5 A. What
will be the new output current when the modulation depth is increased to 87%? 12.07
17. An AM transmitter supplies 14.9 kW of carrier power to a 46-ohm load. It operates at a
carrier frequency of 1.2 MHz and is 85% modulated by a 3 kHz sine wave. Calculate the
rms voltage of the signal. 585.41 CORRECT ANS: 965.92
