1. (a) Let g(t) denote a real-valued band-pass signal, with Fourier transform G(f ) specified (5)

An envelope detector is used to demodulate the signal using a single diode and an
RC filter. The detector operates on the positive half-cycle of the input signal.
i. Draw the envelope detector circuit diagram.
ii. Show the input and output waveforms for the envelope detector.
iii. Determine the condition on the RC value for the proper operation .
(b) Consider the coherent detection (synchronous demodulation) of a DSB-SC signal. (5)
The bandwidth of the message signal is W Hz, and there is a phase difference of
ϕ radians between the carrier signal and the local oscillator output. Let Ps denote
the average power of the message signal and Pd denotes the average power of the
demodulated signal. Assuming that the average power of the local oscillator output
is 0.5, plot PPds as a function of ϕ for 0 ≤ ϕ ≤ π.

quadrature-carrier multiplexing system.

input x(t) and output y(t) are related by y(t) = dx(t)
dt ).
i. What is the envelope of the differentiator output?
ii. Is it possible to design a system that can recover the message signal (i.e. obtain
a scaled version of m(t)) from the differentiator output? If yes, draw the block
diagram of the system. If no, explain why the recovery is not possible.
(b) The sinusoidal modulating wave m(t) = Am sin(2πfm t) is applied to a narrowband (6)
FM modulator. The unmodulated carrier wave has frequency fc and and Amplitude

ii. Draw phasor diagram of the modulated signal for t = t0 , given that
2πfc t0 = π/2 rad and 2πfm t0 = −π/4 rad. Clearly label the diagram.
(c) A narrowband FM (NBFM) to wideband FM (WBFM) converter is implemented as (6)

100 kHz and a message signal of bandwidth 500 Hz. The frequency deviation at the
output of the NBFM modulator is 50 Hz. The local oscillator frequency is adjustable
in the range of 85 Mhz to 95 MHz. If the WBFM signal s(t) is to have a carrier
frequency of 85 MHz and a deviation ratio of 5, determine the following:
