In a DSB full carrier AM transmission system, if the modulation index is doubled, then the ratio of total sideband power to carrier power increases by a factor of_____
Full Carrier DSB-SC (AM) Signal For a full carrier AM (DSB-FC) signal: Carrier Power: \( P_c = \frac{A_c^2}{2R} \) Total Sideband Power: \( P_{SB} = \frac{m^2}{2} P_c \) Therefore, the ratio of total sideband power to carrier power is: \( \frac{P_{SB}}{P_c} = \frac{m^2}{2} \) If the modulation index doubles: \( m' = 2m \) The new ratio becomes: \( \frac{(2m)^2}{2} = \frac{4m^2}{2} = 4\left(\frac{m^2}{2}\right) \) Hence, the ratio of total sideband power to carrier power increases by a factor of 4 . Answer: 4
