Solution
Let frequency of carrier wave be fc and frequency of modulating wave be fm
fc+ fm = 660 kHz ....... (i)
fc− fm = 640 kHz ....... (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get
2 fc = 1300
⇒ fc = 650 kHz
Now,
fc+ fm = 660 kHz
650+ fm = 660 kHz
⇒fm = 10 kHz
We know,
Bandwidth = 2×fm = 20 kHz
Hence,
Frequency of carrier signal is 650 kHz
Frequency of modulating signal is 10 kHz
Bandwidth required for amplitude modualtion is 20 kHz
