Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a DSB-SC system for an audio signal with a maximum frequency of 3 kHz and a carrier frequency of 100 kHz. Calculate the required bandwidth and explain the implications for the transmitted signal spectrum.

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of the bandwidth calculation and what it means for the frequency range.

Challenge 2 Hard

A DSB-SC signal is generated using a local oscillator that is not perfectly synchronized with the carrier. Discuss the resulting impact on the output and provide at least two specific examples.

💡 Hint: Consider how synchronization affects fidelity in signal transmission.
