A message signal of frequency 5 kHz is used to modulate a carrier signal of frequency 2 MHz . The bandwidth for amplitude modulation is:
Options
- A5   kHz
- B20   kHz
- C10   kHz
- D2 . 5   kHz
Correct answer
C. 10   kHz
Step-by-step solution
We have, Message frequency f m = 5   kHz and carrier wave frequency f c = 2   MHz = 2000   KHz The resultant signal will have bandwidth of frequency given by f c + f m - f c - f m = [ ( 2000 + 5 ) - ( 2000 - 5 ) ]   kHz = 10   kHz . Thus, bandwidth for amplitude modulation is 10   kHz .
