Consider the amplitude modulated (AM) signal $$A_c\cos\omega_ct\;+\;2\cos\omega_mt\;\cos\omega_ct$$. For demodulating the signal using envelope detector, the minimum value of A_c should be

Which of the following analog modulation scheme requires the minimum transmitted power and minimum channel bandwidth?

An AM signal and a narrow-band FM signal with identical carriers, modulating signals and modulation indices of 0.1 are added together. The resultant signal can be closely approximated by

An AM signal is detected using an envelope detector. The carrier frequency and modulating signal frequency are 1 MHz and 2 KHz respectively. An appropriate value for the time constant of the envelope detector is
