Frequency spectrum of AM signal
Q. Frequency components of an AM wave (m = modulation index) are- Published on 13 Oct 15a. Carrier frequency (ωc ) with amplitude A
b. Upper side band (ωc + ωm) having amplitude mA/2
c. Lower side band (ωc - ωm) having amplitude mA/2
d. All of the above
ANSWER: All of the above
Frequency components of an AM wave having m modulation index are
- carrier frequency (ω
c ) with amplitude A
- upper side band (ω
c + ω
m) having amplitude mA/2
- lower side band (ω
c - ω
m) having amplitude mA/2
with these components of AM wave, the frequency spectrum may be plotted as
