Carrier suppression in a balanced modulator is limited chiefly by

  • A.The message amplitude
  • B.The operating frequency alone
  • C.The sharpness of the following filter
  • D.Imbalance between the two halves of the modulator

Answer: D

Any mismatch in the diodes or transistors, or in the transformer windings, leaves a carrier residue, so carrier suppression is a matter of balance and is usually trimmed with a potentiometer. Message amplitude affects the sideband level rather than the residue. Frequency matters through stray reactances but is not the chief limit. And the following filter can help only if the carrier falls outside its passband, which in a double-sideband output it does not.
