A 400W carrier wave is modulated to a depth of 65%. Find the total power of modulated wave?(a) 512.5W(b) 493W(c) 484.5W(d) 609.6WI got this question in an internship interview.This question is from Problems of AM in division Amplitude Modulation of Analog Communications

Answer» RIGHT answer is (c) 484.5W

Explanation: TOTAL power,Pt = PC (1 + ^µ^2⁄2),where Pc = Carrier Power = 400W

where MODULATION Index (µ) = 0.65,

 so Pt = 400 (1 +^0.65^2⁄2). On solving it we get Pt = 484.5W.
