Demodulator

Solution
Demodulator is important components of communication systems. Its functions are as follows:
Demodulator: A demodulator demodulates the modulated signal, i.e. it separates the low frequency message signal that has been superimposed on high frequency carrier wave and retrieves the information from the carrier wave at the receiver.

A 1 KW signal is transmitted using a communication channel which provides attenuation at the rate of – 2dB per km. If the communication channel has a total length of 5 km, the power of the signal received is `["gain in dB" = 10 log ("P"_0/"P"_"i")]`
Figure shows a communication system. What is the output power when input signal is of 1.01 mW? (gain in dB = 10 log10 (Po/Pi).

An audio signal is modulated by a carrier wave of 20 MHz such that the bandwidth required for modulation is 3 kHz. Could this wave be demodulated by a diode detector which has the values of R and C as
- R = 1 kΩ, C = 0.01 µF.
- R = 10 kΩ, C = 0.01 µF.
- R = 10 kΩ, C = 0.1 µF.
