Over-modulation occurs when the index exceeds

  • A.Unity
  • B.One half
  • C.Two
  • D.Ten per cent

Answer: A

Beyond an index of one the envelope would have to go negative, so it folds instead: the carrier phase reverses and the recovered message is badly distorted, with splatter into adjacent channels. That is why broadcast transmitters are limited to just under a hundred per cent modulation and why a modulation monitor is a standard fitting. An index of a half is perfectly normal. Two would be heavily over-modulated. And ten per cent is merely shallow, wasting power but distorting nothing.
