An AM transmitter has an un-modulated carrier power of 10 kW. It can be modulated by a sinusoidal modulating voltage to a maximum depth of 40%, without overload. If the maximum modulation index is reduced to 30%, what is the extent up to which the modulated carrier power can be increased without overloading?

Answer:

Given that Pc = 10kW

Modulation index µ = 0.4

Total transmitted power

Now the effective modulation index

The total radiated power

Hence Pt = 11.25kW

Hence modulated carrier power is increased by amount of 11.25 - 10.08 = 1.17kW
