In an amplitude modulation with modulation index 0.5, the ratio of the amplitude of the carrier wave to that of the side band in the modulated wave is
A
4 : 1
B
1 : 4
C
1 : 2
D
2 : 1
Answer
4 : 1
Explanation
Solution
: Here, modulation index μ=0.5
Amplitude of the carrier wave=Ac
Amplitude of the side band =μ2Ac
Their ratio =μ2=0.52=14
