True/False
Indicate whether the sentence or statement is true or false.
 

1. 

The "envelope" of an AM signal resembles the modulating signal.
 

2. 

Modulation is not a linear process.
 

3. 

The upper sideband contains the same information as the lower sideband.
 

Multiple Choice
Identify the letter of the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
 

4. 

The "envelope" of an AM signal is due to:
a.
the baseband signal
c.
the amplitude signal
b.
the carrier signal
d.
none of the above
 

5. 

If the audio Va sin(wat) modulates the carrier Vc sin(wct), then the modulation index, m, is:
a.
m = wa / wc
c.
m = (Va / Vc)2
b.
m = Va / Vc
d.
m = Va / wa
 

6. 

Overmodulation causes:
a.
distortion
c.
both a and b
b.
splatter
d.
none of the above
 

7. 

The peak voltage of an AM signal goes from Emax to Emin. The modulation index, m, is:
a.
m = Emin / Emax
c.
m = (EmaxEmin) / (Emax + Emin)
b.
m = Emax / Emin
d.
m = (Emax + Emin) / (EmaxEmin)
 

8.

a.
5 kHz
c.
1.005 MHz
b.
10 kHz
d.
none of the above
 

9. 

As compared to plain AM, SSB AM:
a.
is more efficient
b.
requires a more complex demodulator circuit
c.
requires less bandwidth
d.
all of the above
 

10.

a.
1000 watts
c.
250 watts
b.
500 watts
d.
0 watts
