(1) A carrier wave of frequency 100 MHz and amplitude A_c = 100V is frequency modulated by a sinusoidal signal of frequency f_m = 100 kHz and amplitude A_m = 20V. Assuming the frequency sensitivity of the modulator k_f= 25 kHz/V:

(a) Determine the approximate bandwidth of the FM signal

(b) Repeat your calculations assuming the modulating frequency is doubled.

(c) Sketch the amplitude spectrum of the FM signals in parts (a) and (b) [Hint: use Matlab function call Jn(β) = besselj(n,β) to calculate J_n(β)]. Consider 10 spectral components on either side of the carrier.

(2) A carrier wave is frequency modulated using a sinusoidal signal of frequency f_m and amplitude A_m.

(a) Determine the first four values of the modulation index β for which the carrier component is reduced to zero [Hint: use Matlab function call J_n(β) = besselJ(n,β) to calculate J₀(β)]

(b) In certain experiment conducted with f_m =1kHz and increasing Am (starting from zero), it is found that the carrier component of the FM signal is reduced to zero for the first time when A_m = 2V.

i. What is the frequency sensitivity of the modulator

ii. What is the value of Am for which the carrier component is reduced to zero for the second time.

(3) The signal:

is sampled at a 10 kHz rate.

s(t) = sin(400Πt) + 0.5cos(12000πt)

(a) What is the spectrum of the sampled signal?

(b) Use the following Matlab script to simulate the sampled spectrum. Explain the results.

(c) How does the spectrum change if the sampling rate was changed to 15 kHz?

(4) A PAM telemetry system involves the multiplexing of four input signals: si(t), ?? = 1,2,3,4. Two of the signals s₁(t) and s₂(t) have a bandwidth of 80 Hz each, whereas the remaining two signals s₃(t) and s₄(t) have a bandwidth of 2 kHz each.

The signals s₃(t) and s₄(t) are sampled at the rate of 2400 sample per second. This sampling rate is divided by 2R (R is an integer) in order to derive the sampling rate for s₁(t) and s₂(t). Find the maximum value of R.

(a) An alternating sequence of 1s and 0s,
(b) A long sequence of 1s followed by long sequence of 0s,
(c) Along sequence of 1s followed by a single 0 and then long sequence of 1s. Sketch the waveform for each of these sequences with:
(4.1) On-off signaling
(4.2) Bipolar return-to-zero signaling
