The maximum amplitude of an AM wave is found to be 15 V while its minimum amplitude is found to be 3 V.What is the modulation index?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C

Modulation index `mu`,
`=(A_(max) - A_(min))/(A_(max)+ A_(min)`
(A = amplitude of modulated wave)
`:. mu=(15-3)/(15+3)=(12)/(18)=2/3`.
