Marks:100
PART-A (10x2=20 Marks)
1. An AM transmitter is modulated by three sources of audio with
m1=0.5,m2=0.7,m3=0.4. The unmodulated carrier power is 50Kw. Calculate the
modulated power output? (MAY2013)
2. What is the Bandwidth for DSBFC, DSBSC, SSB and VSB
3. Compare NBFM and WBFM? (MAY2013)
4. What is modulation index for AM and FM.
5. Draw the frequency spectrum of AM wave? (NOV 2012)
6. Write down the Applications of AM
7. State the advantage of FM over AM?(NOV 2009 & 2010)
8. Define modulation?Classify its types.
9. List out the needs for modulation.(MAY 2008)
10. List out the advantages of DSBSC.

PART-B (5*16=80 Marks)
6. Explain with neat circuit, generation of AM wave. For an DSBFC modulator with
carrier frequency fc=100KHz and a maximum modulating signal fm=5KHz,
determine bandwidth and sketch the output frequency spectrum?
(MAY 2013)(16)

7. Draw the block for an Armstrong indirect FM generation and describe its
operation. Compare FM and PM (MAY
2013)(16)
8. What are the merits of high level modulation and low level modulation in AM
transmission?
Also compare AM and FM. (DEC
