What is the modulation index of an AM signal if the peak voltage goes from Emax to Emin?(a) \(\frac{E_{min}}{E_{max}}\)(b) \(\frac{E_{max}}{E_{min}}\)(c) \(\frac{E_{max} – E_{min}}{E_{max} + E_{min}}\)(d) \(\frac{E_{max} + E_{min}}{E_{max} – E_{min}}\)This question was addressed to me during a job interview.My query is from Spectrum of AM SC Waves in section Side Band Techniques of Analog Communications

Answer»

Correct answer is (c) \(\FRAC{E_{max} – E_{min}}{E_{max} + E_{min}}\)

Best explanation: Modulation INDEX TELLS us the amount by which the CARRIER wave is varied with respect to the message signal. It is defined as \(\frac{E_{max} – E_{min}}{E_{max} + E_{min}}\) where Emax and Emin are respectively the maximum and minimum voltage of the modulated wave.
