Time: 3 hours Max Marks: 70
Answer any FIVE questions
All questions carry equal marks
*****

1 (a) What are the benefits of modulation? Explain in detail.


(b) Explain different coding methods used in communication.

2 (a) What is a band pass signal and how it is relevant to communication system.
(b) The antenna current of an AM broad cast transmitter, modulated to a depth of 40
percent by an audio sine wave, is 11 A. It increases to 12 A as result of simultaneous
modulation by another audio sine wave. What is the modulation index due to this
second sine wave?

in case of SSB technique. How much power saving is achieved for SSB compared to
AM and DSBSC?

4 (a) Derive the mathematical equation for PM, if carrier and modulating signals are of
sinusoidal.

frequencies are cover from 100 Hz to 15 KHz. Find modulation index and bandwidth.

5 Draw the block diagram of phase shift discriminator and explain the functionality of
each block.
