Define modulation index. Why is it kept low? What is the role of a bandpass filter?

Answer»

Modulation index is the ratio of the amplitude of modulating signal to that of carrier wave.

\(\mu = \frac{A_m}{A_c}\)

Modulation index is kept low in order to avoid distortion. The low frequency modulating signal is mixed with high-frequency carrier wave, the distortion is restricted due the high-frequency carrier wave for modulation index lying between 0 and 1.

Bandpass filter rejects low and high frequencies and allows a band of frequencies to pass through.
