Vedclass · Answer

(C) The total power of an $AM$ wave is given by $P_t = P_c \left(1 + \frac{m^2}{2}ight)$,where $P_c$ is the carrier power and $m$ is the modulation index.Given $P_t = 900 \, W$ and $m = 1$ (for $100\%$ modulation).$900 = P_c \left(1 + \frac{1^2}{2}ight) = P_c \left(1 + 0.5ight) = 1.5 P_c$.Therefore,$P_c = \frac{900}{1.5} = 600 \, W$.The power in each sideband is given by $P_{SB} = \frac{m^2 P_c}{4}$.Substituting the values: $P_{SB} = \frac{1^2 	imes 600}{4} = \frac{600}{4} = 150 \, W$.

The total power content of an $AM$ wave is $900 \, W$. For $100\%$ modulation,the power transmitted by each sideband is......$W$

$A$ $TV$ transmission tower has a height of $140\, m$ and the height of the receiving antenna is $40\, m$. What is the maximum distance up to which signals can be broadcasted from this tower in $LOS$ (Line of Sight) mode? (Given: radius of earth $R = 6.4 \times 10^6\, m$)

What is an antenna?

Statement-$1$: Sky wave signals are used for long-distance radio communication.
Statement-$2$: These signals are generally less stable than ground wave signals.
