A carrier wave of peak voltage \(60 \mathrm{~V}\) is used to transmit a message signal. Then the peak voltage of the modulating signal in order to have a modulation index of \(90 \%\) is

  1. A \(30 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(54 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(45 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(60 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(54 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Modulation index, \(\mu=\frac{\text { Amplitude of message } A_M}{\text { Amplitude of carrier } A_C}\) here, \(\quad \mu=90 \%=\frac{9}{10}\) and \(A_C=60 \mathrm{~V}\) \(\therefore \quad \frac{9}{10}=\frac{A_M}{60}\)…
