Questions and Answers

What occurs when the level of the message signal is equal to the level of the carrier signal?

The carrier signal is completely suppressed.

The modulation is at 50%.

The carrier signal is said to be distorted.

The carrier is said to be fully modulated. (correct)

What characterizes the time domain presentation of an amplitude-modulated wave?

It displays the modulation percentage of the carrier signal.

It shows constant wave amplitude with varying frequency.

It depicts the wave amplitude changing in accordance with the message signal. (correct)

It represents the energy levels of the modulated signals.

How does the relationship between $E_{max}$ and $E_{min}$ affect the modulated wave?

They have no impact on the modulation process.

They determine the frequency of the carrier signal.

They are mirror images of each other. (correct)

Study Notes

Amplitude Modulation Principles

Amplitude modulation (AM) reduces the carrier wave by the message signal.
Positive and negative peaks of the modulated wave mirror each other.
100% modulation occurs when the message signal equals the carrier signal.
At 100% modulation, the total amplitude is 2E.
The time domain display (Figure 1.1) shows a plot of wave amplitude over time.
The carrier frequency remains constant.
The amplitude changes according to the message signal's size and frequency.
The carrier frequency is notably higher than the message signal frequency.
