Average Total Power of AM Wave Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Power = Carrier Power*(1+(Modulation Index^2)/2)
P_t = P_c*(1+(μ^2)/2)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Total Power - (Measured in Watt) - Total Power is the amount of energy liberated per second in an analog signal.
Carrier Power - (Measured in Watt) - Carrier Power is the power dissipated by a carrier modulating wave.
Modulation Index - Modulation Index states the level of modulation that a carrier wave undergoes.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

What do we observe from the power relation of AM wave?

We can observe from the expression of AM wave that the carrier component of the amplitude modulated wave has the same amplitude as unmodulated carrier.
In addition to carrier component , the modulated wave consists of two sideband components. It means that the modulated wave contains more power than the unmodulated carrier.
However, since the amplitudes of two sidebands depend upon the modulation index, it may be anticipated that the total power of the amplitude modulated wave would depend upon the modulation index also. In this section, we shall find the power contents of the carrier and the sidebands.
