What is the formula for a carrier wave?
💡 Hint: Draw on the variables A_c, f_c, and φ_c to remember the equation.
True or False: Frequency Modulation (FM) is less power-efficient than Amplitude Modulation (AM).

Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an amplitude modulation system with a carrier frequency of 1 MHz and a modulating signal with a maximum frequency of 5 kHz, calculate the total bandwidth required.
💡 Hint: Remember the formula for bandwidth in AM is double the maximum frequency of the modulating signal.
For a frequency modulation system with a peak frequency deviation of 75 kHz and modulation index of 5, apply Carson's rule to find the bandwidth.
💡 Hint: Make sure to closely examine how to apply Carson's rule, and keep track of peak deviation and modulating frequency.
