    As we know that in band (88–108) MHz, the maximum frequency deviation is ± 75kHz and given signal have frequency deviation of 15 kHz so% modulation given by

    % modulation =

    Given equation s(t) = cos 2π (2 × 106t + 30 sin 150t + 40 cos 150t) …(1)
    From equation (1)
    θ(t) = 2 × 106t + 30 sin 150t + 40 cos 150t
    or

    dθ(t)
    = 2 × 106+ 30.150 cos 150t + 40.150 sin 150t
    dt

    or
    dθ(t)
    = 2 × 106 + √ 302 + 402 cos(150t + φ)
    dt

    or
    dθ(t)

    We know that,

    2 × 106 = ωc
    Frequency deviation
    ⇒ ωi − ωc = 7500 cos (150t + φ)
    i − ωc|max = 7500 radian/sec.
    Hence alternative (B) is the correct choice.

    (Given that, kf = 15 × 103 Hz per volt)

    We know that bandwidth of FM modulated signal is given by

    BW = 2(β + 1)fm =2Δf
    1 +
    1
    β

    Here, the maximum frequency component in f (t) is 20 kHz, and the maximum amplitude present in f (t) is 5 volt.
    Therefore the frequency deviation Δf is given by
    Δf = Kf ·Am = 15 × 103 × 5 = 75 kHz
    and the modulation index β is given by
    β =
    Δf
    =
    75 kHz
    =
    7.5
    = 3.75
    fm20kHz2

    Now, BW = 2 (β + 1) fm = 2(3·75 + 1) 20 kHz
    = 9·5 × 20 kHz = 190 kHz
    Hence alternative (B) is the correct choice.

  1. For the data given Q. 52 what will be the new bandwidth, if modulating signal amplitude is doubled?

    When the modulating signal amplitude is doubled, the frequency deviation becomes

    Δf' =
    KfA'm
    =
    Kf'(2Am)
    ωmωm

    = 2Δf = 2 × 75 = 150 kHz
    Now, β′ = 2(Δf ′ + fm) = 2(150 + 10) = 320 kHz

    Correct Option: C
