Angle modulated voltage 10 sin(10⁸t + 3 sin10⁴t)

Short answer

Compare E = 10 sin(10^8 t + 3 sin 10^4 t) to standard form: carrier amplitude 10 V, ω_c=10^8 rad/s, ω_m=10^4 rad/s, β=3. Carrier frequency f_c = 10^8/(2π) ≈ 15.92 MHz, modulating frequency f_m = 10^4/(2π) ≈ 1.59 kHz. Power in 100 Ω resistor: P = (10^2)/(2×100) = 0.5 W.

The equation of an angle modulation voltage is E = 10 sin(10⁸t + 3 sin 10⁴t). Calculate the carrier and modulating frequency, modulating index and power dissipated in 100 Ω resistor.

Given: E=10sin⁡(108t+3sin⁡104t)E = 10\sin(10^8 t + 3\sin 10^4 t) V, R=100 ΩR = 100\ \Omega.

Comparing with the standard form E=Acsin⁡(ωct+βsin⁡ωmt)E = A_c \sin(\omega_c t + \beta \sin \omega_m t):

Ac=10 V,ωc=108 rad/s,ωm=104 rad/s,β=3A_c = 10\ \text{V}, \quad \omega_c = 10^8\ \text{rad/s}, \quad \omega_m = 10^4\ \text{rad/s}, \quad \beta = 3

Carrier frequency

fc=ωc2π=1082π=15.915×106 Hz≈15.92 MHzf_c = \frac{\omega_c}{2\pi} = \frac{10^8}{2\pi} = 15.915 \times 10^6\ \text{Hz} \approx 15.92\ \text{MHz}

Modulating frequency

fm=ωm2π=1042π=1591.5 Hz≈1.59 kHzf_m = \frac{\omega_m}{2\pi} = \frac{10^4}{2\pi} = 1591.5\ \text{Hz} \approx 1.59\ \text{kHz}

Modulation index

β=3(peak deviation Δf=βfm=3×1591.5=4774.6 Hz)\beta = 3 \quad (\text{peak deviation } \Delta f = \beta f_m = 3 \times 1591.5 = 4774.6\ \text{Hz})

Power in 100 Ω

The amplitude of an angle-modulated wave is constant, so its power equals the unmodulated carrier power:

P=Vrms2R=(Ac/2)2R=1022×100=0.5 WP = \frac{V_{rms}^2}{R} = \frac{(A_c/\sqrt2)^2}{R} = \frac{10^2}{2 \times 100} = 0.5\ \text{W}

Answer: fc=15.92f_c = 15.92 MHz, fm=1.59f_m = 1.59 kHz, β=3\beta = 3, P=0.5P = 0.5 W.
