In the process of amplitude modulation, the modulating (message) signal m(t)[= Am sin(ωmt)] is added to the carrier wave c(t)[= Ac sin((ωct)], to produce the output signal x(t) [= Am sin(ωct) + Ac sin (ωct)]. The devices, through which this signal is made to pass, before being fed into the transmitting antenna (as an AM wave), are sequence wise, the(1) power amplifier, square law device and band pass filter. (2) band pass filter, power amplifier and square law device. (3) square law device, band pass filter and power amplifier. (4) power amplifier, band pass filter and square law device

Answer»

Correct option: (3) square law device, band pass filter and power amplifier.

Explanation: 

The sequence of (amplitude) modulation, of the carrier wave by the message signal is as per the block diagram shown here.

After adding the message signal m (t) to the carrier wave c (t), the signal x (t) is produced. This is passed into a square law device whose output contains a d.c. term and sinusoidal of frequencies ωm , 2ωm, ωc , 2ωc, (ωc –ωm) and (ωcm). The band pass filter than rejects the d.c. term and sinusoids of frequencies ωc , (ωc –ωm) and (ωc + ωm). This output is the AM wave which has its central frequency ωc an its side band frequencies (ωc –ωm) and (ωcm). 

The output of the band pass filter is followed by a power amplifier. This provides it the necessary power. This power argumentative signal is than fed into an appropriate sized transmitting antenna which than radiates it out into space.
