Questions and Answers

What happens when the amplitude sensitivity ka of the modulator is large enough to make |ka m(t)| >1 for any t?

  • The carrier wave disappears
  • The carrier wave becomes under-modulated
  • The carrier wave remains the same
  • The carrier wave becomes over-modulated (correct)

What is the unit of measurement for the carrier amplitude Ac and the message signal m(t)?

  • Watts
  • Amps
  • Volts (correct)
  • Hz

What is the condition for the envelope to have the same shape as the message signal m(t)?

  • The amplitude of ka m(t) is always equal to unity
  • The amplitude of ka m(t) is always greater than unity
  • The amplitude of ka m(t) is always less than unity (correct)
  • The amplitude of ka m(t) is randomly varying
