In an AM wave, the majority of the power is in _____________?
Correct answer: C. Carrier
- A. Lower sideband
- B. Upper sideband
- C. Carrier
- D. None of the above
Explanation
In standard AM at or below 100% modulation, the carrier power is greater than the combined sideband power; at 100% modulation, the sidebands together contain only half the carrier power. Therefore, most transmitted power is in the carrier.
