Moderate

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.
