(c) Single sideband modulation with only the upper sideband transmitted.
(d) Single sideband modulation with only the lower sideband transmitted
6. Suppose that nonlinear devices are available for which the output current ic ,voltage Vi , are
related by
io=ai vi+ a3vi3
where ai and a3vi3 are constants. Explain how these devices may be used to provide a) a product
modulator and b) an amplitude modulator.
7. Fig. 1 shows the circuit diagram of square law modulator. The signal applied to the non-linear
device is relatively weak, such that it can be represented by a square law
V2(t)=a1 V1(t) + a2 V21(t)
Where a1 and a2 are constants, V1(t) is the input voltage and V2(t) is the output voltage. The input
voltage is defined by
V1(t)=Ac cos(2*pi*fc*t) + m(t)
a) Evaluate the output voltage V2(t).
b) Specify the frequency response that the tuned circuit in Fig. 1 must satisfy in order to
generate an AM signal with fc as the carrier frequency.
c) What is the amplitude sensitivity of this AM signal?

Fig. 2shows the circuit diagram of an envelope detector. It consists simply of a diode and RC filter. On
a positive half cycle of the input signal, the diode is forward biased and the capacitor C charges up
rapidly to the peak value of the input signal. When the input signal falls below this value the diode
becomes reverse biased and the capacitor C discharges slowly through the load resistor RL .The
discharging process continues until the next positive half cycle. Thereafter, the charging discharging
routine is continued.
a) Specify the condition that must be satisfied by the capacitor C for it to charge rapidly and thereby
follow the input voltage up to the positive peak when the diode is conducing
b) Specify the conditions which the load resistor RL must satisfy so that the capacitor C discharge
slowly between positive peaks of the carrier wave , but not so long that the capacitor voltage will
not discharge at the maximum rate of change of the modulating wave

Consider a square law detector, using a nonlinear device whose transfer characteristic is defined by
V2(t)=a1 V1(t) + a2 V21(t)
Where a1 and a2 are constants, V1(t) is the input voltage and V2(t) is the output voltage . the
input voltage is defined by
V1(t)=Ac [1+Kam(t)]cos(2*pi*fc*t)
