Maximum Amplitude Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave = Amplitude of Carrier Signal*(1+Modulation Index^2)
A_max = A_c*(1+μ^2)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave - (Measured in Volt) - The Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave is the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position.
Amplitude of Carrier Signal - (Measured in Volt) - Amplitude of Carrier Signal is varied in accordance with the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating signal. The modulating signal is the signal that contains the information to be transmitted.
Modulation Index - Modulation Index states the level of modulation that a carrier wave undergoes.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Amplitude of Carrier Signal: 17 Volt --> 17 Volt No Conversion Required

Intermediate Frequency

Go Intermediate Frequency = (Local Oscillation Frequency-Received Signal Frequency)

Transmission Efficiency with respect to Modulation Index

Go Transmission Efficiency of AM Wave = Modulation Index^2/(2+Modulation Index^2)

Image Frequency

Go Image Frequency = Received Signal Frequency+(2*Intermediate Frequency)

Crest Factor

Go Crest Factor = Peak Value of Signal/RMS Value of Signal

Maximum Amplitude Formula

Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave = Amplitude of Carrier Signal*(1+Modulation Index^2)
A_max = A_c*(1+μ^2)

How maximum amplitude can be determined?

Maximum amplitude can be determined if the amplitude of carrier signal and the modulation index is given to us. It is expressed as:
Maximum amplitude, Amax= Ac(1+μ)
where, Ac= amplitude of carrier signal
and μ= modulation index.

How to Calculate Maximum Amplitude?

Maximum Amplitude calculator uses Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave = Amplitude of Carrier Signal*(1+Modulation Index^2) to calculate the Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave, Maximum amplitude is the greatest amplitude of the modulating wave. It is the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave is denoted by A_max symbol.
