An AM modulator has output s(t) = 20 cos(300?t) + 6 cos(320?t) + 6 cos(280?t). a) Determine the modulation index. b) Determine the efficiency. c) Assume that this signal is transmitted through a channel with attenuation of 40 dB and additive white noise with power spectral density S_n(f) = N_0/2 = 10^{-10} W/Hz. What's the SNR at the output of the system assuming coherent demodulation at the receiver? d) What should the transmitter power for a DSB system be to achieve the same SNR at the output?

For an FM modulator with a modulation index mf = 1, a modulating signal Vm(t) = Vm sin(2π1000t) and unmodulated carrier Vc(t) = 10 sin(2π500kt), determine: a) Number of sets of significant sidebands b) Their amplitude c) Then draw the frequency spectrum showing their relative amplitudes d) Determine the unmodulated carrier power for the FM modulator (assume a load resistance RL = 50 Ω) e) Determine the power in the modulated carrier and each side frequency, and sketch the power spectrum for the modulated wave.
