Question:

Audio sine waves of 3 kHz frequency are used to amplitude modulate a carrier signal of 1.5 MHz. Which of the statements is true ?

Options:

The side band frequencies are 1506 kHz and 1494 kHz

The bandwidth required for amplitude modulation is 6 kHz

The side band frequencies are 1503 kHz and 1497 kHz

The bandwidth required for amplitude modulation is 3 MHz

Correct Answer:

The side band frequencies are 1503 kHz and 1497 kHz

Explanation:

side band frequencies = w\(\pm \) wm

                                =  1503 kHz, 1497 kHz
