Direction: Solve for each item provided. (5 items x 5 points)
1. What is the peak value of the modulating signal if 𝑉𝑚𝑎𝑥 is 7.8 𝑉 and the 𝑉𝑚𝑖𝑛 is 5 𝑉?
𝑉𝑚𝑎𝑥 −𝑉𝑚𝑖𝑛 7.8𝑉−5𝑉 2.8
𝑉𝑚 = 𝑉𝑚 = = 𝐴𝑛𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑟 = 1.4𝑉

2. Assuming an oscilloscope displays a peak 8.37 𝑉 and a trough of 3.21 𝑉. What is the
percentage of modulation.
𝑉𝑚𝑎𝑥 −𝑉𝑚𝑖𝑛 8.37−3.21𝑣
𝑚= 𝑥 100% 𝑚= 𝑥 100%
𝑉𝑚𝑎𝑥 +𝑉𝑚𝑖𝑛 8.37+3.21𝑣

𝑚 = 11.58 𝑥 100 𝐴𝑛𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑟 = 44.56%
3. Given a modulating signal voltage of 5.32 𝑉 and a carrier voltage of 9.83 𝑉. Calculate
the percentage of modulation

𝐴𝑛𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑟 = 54.14%
4. An amplitude modulation has a 𝑉𝑚𝑎𝑥 of6.19 𝑉 and a 𝑉𝑚 of 0.453 𝑉. What is the value
of the trough?
𝑉𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 𝑉𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 2𝑉𝑚 𝑉𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 6.19𝑉 − 2(0.453𝑉)
𝐴𝑛𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑟 = 5.284𝑉
5. Prove the answer for the item #4.
𝑉𝑚𝑎𝑥 −𝑉𝑚𝑖𝑛
