Why is a modulation monitor fitted to a broadcast transmitter?

  • A.To check the antenna's standing wave ratio
  • B.To log the audio programme for regulatory purposes
  • C.To keep peaks below over-modulation while maintaining depth
  • D.To measure the carrier frequency against a standard

Answer: C

The monitor exists to hold the working point in a narrow band: deep enough for efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio, shallow enough that peaks never exceed unity index and splatter into neighbouring channels. Frequency measurement, antenna matching and programme logging are all done by other equipment for other reasons, though a modern transmitter may well include all of them in one rack.
