1. (20%) An amplitude modulation (AM) is defined by xc (t) = [A + m(t)]c(t), where m(t)
is the message signal and c(t) = cos 2πfc t is the carrier, as shown in the figure below. Let
F F F
m(t) ↔ M (f ), c(t) ↔ C(f ), and xc (t) ↔ Xc (f ). The M (f ) is also shown in the figure
below.

(a) An envelope detector is used to demodulated the AM signal. Draw the circuit for
the envelope detector.
(b) Plot xc (t) for A = 21 D and draw the output of the envelope detector.
(c) Plot xc (t) for A = D and draw the output of the envelope detector.
(d) Plot Xc (f ). (Please justify your answer.)
(e) What is the constraint on A so that the envelope detector can properly demodulate
the AM signal? (Justify you answer by using the result of Problem 1(b)-(c).)
