A radio broadcasting transmitter delivers a total radiated power of 12 kW at 50% modulation. The power of the carrier wave without modulation is

  1. 5.67 kW
  2. 7.15 kW
  3. 9.6 kW
  4. 12 kW

Correct answer: 9.6 kW

Solution

The total radiated power in amplitude modulation is the sum of the carrier power and the power of the sidebands. With 50% modulation, the carrier power can be calculated using the formula: Carrier Power = Total Power / (1 + (modulation index)²/2). Here, the modulation index is 0.5, leading to a carrier power of 9.6 kW.
