Define modulation index. Why is it generally kept less than one ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Modulation index is the ratio of amplitude of modulating signal to amplitude of carrier waves.
`mu=(A_(m))/(A_(c ))`
It is kept low to decrease or noise. A band pass filter rejects low and high frequencies and allows a band of frequencies to pass.
