If the modulation index of an amplitude modulated wave is changed from 0 to 1 , then the transmitted power will be
Options
- Aunchanged
- Bdoubled
- Cincreased by 50 %
- Dzero
Correct answer
C. increased by 50 %
Step-by-step solution
The transmitted power in AM wave is P_t= (1+ ^2 2 ) P_c where is the modulation index and P_c is the power in carrier wave. When =0, P_t=P_c and when =1, P_t= (1+ 1 2 ) P_c= 3 2 P_c The percentage increase in transmitted power = 3 2 P_c-P_c P_c 100 %= 1 2 100 %=50 %
