Solution 2
As per the definition we have
Power in DSB (Double
𝑃𝐷𝑆𝐵𝑆𝐶 = 10.8 W
sideband with full carrier),
𝑃𝐷𝑆𝐵 = 40.8 W
Power of the single sideband, SSB
𝑃𝑆𝑆𝐵 = 5.4 W

3. An SSB transmitter has a 24-V dc supply. On voice peaks the current
achieves a maximum of 9.3 A. What is the PEP? What is the average
power of the transmitter?

Concept 1
In SSB, the transmitter output is expressed in terms of peak envelope power
(PEP), the maximum power produced on voice amplitude peaks. PEP is computed
by the equation P = V2/R.
The PEP input power is simply the dc input power of the transmitter’s final
amplifier stage at the instant of the voice envelope peak. It is the final amplifier
stage dc supply voltage multiplied by the maximum amplifier current that occurs at
the peak, PEP = VS Imax
Concept 2
Note that voice amplitude peaks are produced only when very loud sounds are
generated during certain speech patterns or when some word or sound is
emphasized. During normal speech levels, the input and output power levels are
much less than the PEP level. The average power is typically only one-fourth to
one-third of the PEP value with typical human speech.

5. Find the power in each sideband of a DSB-SC signal with the carrier signal at 1
MHz and of a peak signal voltage of 100 V modulated simultaneously by three
different signals. The frequencies of the modulating signals are 2 kHz, 3 kHz and 5
kHz, respectively, and peak modulating voltages are 10 V, 20 V, and 30 V,
respectively. Assume a load resistance of 100 Ω.
Solution 5
Power in each sideband of a DSB-SC= PSB= 1.75 W
