A signal of frequency \(10 \mathrm{kHz}\) and peak voltage \(10 \mathrm{~V}\) is used to amplitude modulate a carrier of frequency \(1 \mathrm{MHz}\) and peak voltage \(20 \mathrm{~V}\). The side-band frequencies in \(\mathrm{kHz}\) are
  1. 1010,990
  2. 910,1090
  3. 10,11
  4. \(1.01,0.99\)

Solution

Given, frequency of signal, \(f_s=10 \mathrm{kHz}\) peak voltage, \(V_p=10 \mathrm{~V}\) carrier frequency, \(f_c=1 \mathrm{mHz}\) and peak voltage, \(V_c=20 \mathrm{~V}\) \(\therefore\) The side band frequencies are given as \(f=f_c \pm f_s\) Putting the given values, we get \(f=1 \times 10^6 \pm 10 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~Hz}=(1000 \pm 10) 10^3 \mathrm{~Hz}\) So, the side band frequencies in \(\mathrm{kHz}\) is \(1010 \mathrm{kHz}\) and \(990 \mathrm{kHz}\).
