Amplitude and Frequency Modulations
 

Amplitude and Frequency Modulations problem 5


  • Describe what is meant by frequency modulation (FM).


  • A sinusoidal carrier wave has a frequency of and an amplitude of . The carrier wave is frequency modulated by a sinusoidal wave of frequency and amplitude . The frequency deviation of the carrier wave is . Determine, for the modulated carrier wave,


    • the amplitude,


    • the maximum frequency,


    • the minimum frequency,


    • the number of times per second that the frequency changes from maximum to minimum and then back to maximum.
