Unit 1 PROBLEMS

1) The document discusses amplitude modulation (AM) and provides formulas for calculating total power, current ratios, and modulation index in an AM signal. 2) It provides an example problem where the modulation index is calculated to be 0.701 based on a change in antenna current from modulation. 3) Another problem calculates the total radiated power would be 10.84kW given a carrier power of 9kW, modulated power of 10.125kW, and a second sine wave at 40% modulation.
