An amplitude modulated wave is as shown in the figure. Calculate
(i) the percentage modulation
(ii) peak carrier voltage and
(iii) peak value of information voltage
Explanation:-
As shown in the figure,
Maximum voltage,
Minimum voltage,
i) The percentage modulation quantifies how much the amplitude of the carrier wave is varied by the modulating signal.
Percentage modulation
After substituting the values of Vmax and Vmin, the percentage modulation = 66.67%
ii) the formula of peak carrier voltage is
Thus,
iii) Peak value of information voltage
