Draw a block diagram of a simple modulator for obtaining amplitude modulated signal.

A carrier wave of peak voltage 12 V is used to transmit a message signal. What should be the peak voltage of the modulating signal in order to have a modulation index of 75%?


The block diagram of a simple modulator is as follows:


Given, peak carrier voltage,


Modulation index,


Let the peak voltage of modulating signal be


We know,





Hence, peak voltage of modulating signal should be 9V.
