Power dissipation calculation across resistor from FM equation
Calculate the dissipation in power across 20Ω resistor for the FM signal
v(t)= 20 cos(6600t+ 10sin2100t)
Options:
a) 5W
b) 20W
c) 10W
d) 400W
Correct Answer: a) 5W
Explanation:
A standard FM signal is represented by
v(t)= Ac cos(2πfct+ kfsin2πfmt)
Ac = carrier amplitude
fc= carrier frequency
kf= modulation index
fm = modulating frequency
kf = frequency deviation/modulating frequency
the power dissipated across 20Ω resistor is given by
Vrms2/R
=(20/√2)2/R
= 5W

- Shouldn't it be 10W? (20/sqrt(2))^2/20?
