In amplitude modulation, the modulation index m is kept less than or equal to 1 because
(a) m> 1, will result in interference between carrier frequency and message frequency, resulting into distortion.
(b) m > 1, will result in overlapping of both side bands resulting into loss of information
(c) m > 1, will result in change in phase between carrier signal and message signal.
(d) m > 1, indicates amplitude of message signal greater than amplitude of carrier signal resulting into distortion.

This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Answer- b, d

Explanation- modulation index m= A_m/A_c

If m>1 then A_m>A_c

maximum modulation frequency m_f= frequency deviation / maximum frequency of modulating wave

here if m>1 then it means overlapping of both sides resulting loss of infor

The TV transmission tower at a particular station has a height of 125 m. For doubling the coverage of its range, the height of the tower should be increased by

Vishal Baghel

According to question, we can write

$d = \sqrt[]{2 h R} \Rightarrow \frac{d_{2}}{d_{1}} = \sqrt[]{\frac{h_{2}}{h_{1}}} \Rightarrow h_{2} = {(\frac{d_{2}}{d_{1}})}^{2} h_{1} = {(\frac{2}{1})}^{2} \times 125 = 500 m$

Increment in height of tower = h₂ – h₁ = 500 – 125 = 375 m

A signal containing multiple frequencies is shown in figure A. It is passed through 2 different filters and then outputs are shown in figure B & C.

Low pass filter will allow low frequency signal to pass while high pass filter allow high frequency to pass through

An antenna is mounted on a 400m tall building. What will be the wavelength of signal that can be radiated effectively by the transmission tower upto a range of 44kg?

µ = A? /A? = 0.5 {A? = 20 volt, A? = 40 volt}
m (t) = A? sin ω? t {ω? = 2π×10? }
c (t) = A? sin ω? t {ω? = 2π×10×10³}
C? (t) = (A? + A? sin ω? t) sin ω? t ⇒ A? {1+ µsin ω? t} sin ω? t
