Amplitude of a Wave

Question

A message signal of peak voltage $20 V$ is used to modulate a carrier wave of peak voltage $30 V$ . Determine the modulation index.

Open in App

Solution

The modulation index is the ratio of modulating signal voltage to the carrier wave peak voltage.
That is, $m = \frac{V_{m}}{V_{c}}$
$= \frac{20 V}{30 V} = 0.66$
