If an amplitude modulated wave 10[1+0.6 cos 2π103t] cos 2π.106.t is to be detected by a linear diode detector, then the time constant will be:
35) If an amplitude modulated wave 10[1+0.6 cos 2π103t] cos 2π.106.t is to be detected by a linear diode detector, then the time constant will be:
Solution
to detect envelope the time constant, t will be
1/carrier frequency << t << 1/message frequency
Here, 1/10^6 << t << 1/10^3
It should be greater than 1 microsec but less than 1 millisecond
so, correct answer is 0.17 msec
