SECTION-B
2.
Derive the relationship between the output power of AM transmitter and depth of
modulation and plot it for various values of modulation index from zero to maximum.
3.
How frequency modulation (FM) can be generated from phase modulation (PM)? Also
draw and discuss the narrow band FM and PM generator/modulators.
4.
Discuss the significance of noise triangle. How pre-emphasis and de-emphasis is used to
avoid the effect of noise?
5.
Explain how image frequency signals are received in super-heterodyne receiver. How can
these signals be rejected?
6.
Explain the generation and detection of pulse width modulation and pulse position
modulation.
SECTION-C
7.
In an Armstrong FM transmitter, the narrowband carrier frequency fc1 = 0.1 MHz and
second carrier frequency fc2 =8.5 MHz and output carrier frequency is 100MHz and
f = 75KHz. Calculate multiplying factors n1 and n2 if narrowband frequency deviation is
10Hz.
8.
How sampling takes place in digital communication? Derive mathematical expression to
elaborate the working of sampling. Describe Pulse code modulation.
9.
An FM modulator operates at carrier frequency of 500 KHz with frequency deviation
sensitivity of 1.5 KHz/V. A PM modulator operates at a carrier frequency of 500 KHZ
with phase deviation sensitivity of 0.75 rad/v. both FM and PM modulators are
modulated by the same modulating signal having peak amplitude of 4 V and modulating
frequency of 2 KHz :
a) Is it possible to distinguish the FM spectrum from the PM spectrum?
b) If the modulating frequency is changed to 1 KHz, is it now possible to distinguish the
FM spectrum from the PM spectrum?
NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
page of Answer Sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
