  1. An AM broadcast station operates at its maximum allowed total of 100 kW with 90% modulation. The power in the intelligence part is—
    1. 28.8 kW
    2. 71.2 kW
    3. 35.6 kW
    4. None of these
Correct Option: A

Power in intelligence part, means we have to calculate the power in sideband.
Given that Pt = 100 kW
Now,

Pt = Pc 1 +
μ2
2

100kW = Pc 1 +
0.93
2

or
Pc = 71.2kW
Now again,
Pt = Pc+sideband power
100 = 71.2+sideband power
or
sideband power = 100-71.2 = 28.8 kW.
