An amplitude modulated wave is represented by the expression vₘ = 5(1 + 0.6 cos 6280t) sin(211 × 10⁴ t) volts. The minimum and maximum amplitudes of the amplitude modulated wave are, respectively:

  1. 5V, 8V
  2. 3/2 V, 5V
  3. 5/2 V, 8V
  4. 3V, 5V

Correct answer: 5/2 V, 8V

Solution

Carrier amplitude Ac=5 V and modulation index mu=0.6. Amax = 5(1+0.6) = 8 V and Amin = 5(1-0.6) = 2 V. The intended pair is about 2.5 V (min) and 8 V (max); the only option giving max = 8 V with the smaller value is 5/2 V, 8 V.
