Answer the Following Questions
1-a) For a v(t) given by
  
v (t )  cos 2 *10 6 t  0.02 cos 2 (10 6 103 )t 
Show that:
i-It represents a carrier which is modulated both in amplitude and frequency
ii-Its amplitude and frequency variations both vary approximately sinusoidally with time with a frequency
of 103 Hz.
b) A carrier is angle modulated by two sinusoidal modulating waveforms simultaneously so that
x (t )  A cosc t  1 sin(1t )   2 sin(2 t )

Show that this waveform has sidebands separated from the carrier not only at multiples of 1 and 2
but also has sidebands as well at separations of multiples of 1+2 and 1-2.
2-a) Consider a narrowband FM signal approximately defined by
s(t )  Ac cos (c t )   Ac sin ( c t ) sin ( m t ) )
i-Determine the envelope of this modulated signal. What is the ratio of the maximum to the minimum value
of this envelope? Plot this ratio versus β for 0 ≤ β ≤ 0.3.
ii-Determine the average power of this modulated signal, expressed as a percentage of the average power of
the unmodulated of the carrier wave. Plot this result versus β for 0 ≤ β ≤ 0.3.
iii-By expanding the angle θi(t) of the narrowband FM signal s(t) in the form of a power series and
restricting β to a maximum value of 0.3 radians, show that
 i (t )  c t   sin (m t )   sin (m t )  3

What is the power ratio of 3rd harmonic to fundamental component for β = 0.3.
3- The indirect method wideband FM modulator is used to transmit audio signal containing frequencies in
the range 100 Hz-15 kHz. The carrier frequency at the modulator output is 100 MHz, minimum frequency
deviation is 75kHz, and maximum modulation index in the phase modulator is 0.3 radians.
i-Calculate the frequency multiplication ratios n1 and n2 which will satisfy these specifications.
ii-Specify the values of the carrier frequency and frequency deviation at the various points in the
modulator.
