A 1 MHz sinusoidal carrier is amplitude modulated by a symmetrical square wave of period 100u sec. Which of the following frequencies will not be present in the modulated signal?
a) 990 KHz
b) 1010 KHz
c) 1020 KHz
d) 1030 KHz
Answer -c,d
Fc= 1 MHz
Fm=1/(100u sec)=10KHz
For amplitude modulation frequencies will be between Fc-Fm and Fc+Fm
that is they will be in between 990KHZ and 1010KHZ
So the frequencies 1020 KHz and 1030 KHz will not be present.

fm = 10 Khz
fc = 1000 kHz
So the frequencies are = ( 1000 Khz + 10 kHz = 1010 KHz and 1000 khz-10 khz = 990 KHz)
