Compare AM and NBFM.

AM stand for amplitude modulation. Bandwidth of the amplitude modulated signal is \(2f_m\), where \(f_m\) is the maximum modulating signal frequency. The mathematical expression of AM waveform is defined as

Considering a message signal \(e_m=E_mcos\omega_mt\) and carrier signal by \(e_c=E_csin\left(\omega_c+\theta\right)t\), find the expression of the resultant FM wave.

The general expression of FM signal is \(S\left(t\right)=E_csin\left(\omega_ct+\theta\right)\) \(S\left(t\right)=E_csin\left(\omega_ct+2\pi k_f\int_{0}^{t}{e_mdt}\right)\)

Explain FM stereo \(\frac{T_x}{R_x}\) system with block schematic diagrams.

A stereo FM transmission is a system in which, adequate information is sent to the receiver in order to reproduce the original stereo sound signal. The stereo FM system is made compatible with the usual mono FM system, so that it is possible to receive FM stereo transmission even using mono FM receiver.

Define SNR and Noise Figure. Why is the noise performance of the first stage of a cascade receiver so important? If each stage of a two – stage cascade amplifier has a gain of 10 dB and noise figure of 10 dB, calculate the total noise figure in dB. 

In the communication systems, the comparison of signal power with the noise power at the same point is important, to ensure that the noise at that point is not excessively larger. It is defined as the ration of the signal power to the noise power at the same point.

Calculate the SNR at the output of a synchronous SSB-SC demodulator.

The receiver of an SSB-SC system is similar to that of or DSB-SC system for synchronous detection except for the fact that the bandwidth of the BPF of SSB-Sc receiver should be one- half of the required for DSB-SC.

Explain the terms selectivity, sensitivity and fidelity of receiver.

The selectivity of a receiver is defined as the ability to accept a given band of frequencies and reject all other unwanted frequencies is called its selectivity. It also express the attenuation that the receiver offers to signal at frequencies adjacent to the one to which it is tuned.

What do you mean by thermal and white noise?

The thermal noise also known as Johnson noise. The free electrons within a conductor are always in random motion. This random motion is due to the thermal energy received by them. The distribution of this free electrons within a conductor at a given instant of time is not uniform.

Draw and explain the square – law modulator.

The device that generates an amplitude modulated wave is called an amplitude modulator. In this method, the linear device that will be used is a normal P-N junction diode.
