A carrier wave of peak voltage \(15 \mathrm{~V}\) is used to transmit a message signal. If the modulation index is \(60 \%\), then the peak voltage of the modulating signal is

  1. A \(3 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(6 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(9 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(12 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(9 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The peak voltage for the modulating signal is \(\mathrm{m}=\frac{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{C}}} ; \mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{mA}_{\mathrm{C}}=0.60 \times 15=9 \mathrm{~V}\)
