Multiple choice

Consider the following Amplitude Modulated (AM) signal, where fm < B:

$X_{AM}(t) = 10 (1+0.5 sin 2\pi f_m t) cos2\pi f_ct$

The AM signal gets added to a noise with Power Spectral Density Sn (f) given in the figure below. The ratio of average sideband power to mean noise power would be

  1. $\dfrac{25}{8 N_0 B}$
  2. $\dfrac{25}{4 N_0 B}$
  3. $\dfrac{25}{2 N_0 B}$
  4. $\dfrac{25}{N_0 B}$
