Question: Assume that an AM system operates with an index of 0.5 and that the message signal is 10 cos(8t). Compute the efficiency, the detection gain

Assume that an AM system operates with an index of 0.5 and that the message signal is 10 cos(8πt). Compute the efficiency, the detection gain in dB, and the output SNR in decibels relative to the base band performance PT / N0W. Determine the improvement (in decibels) in the output SNR that results, if the modulation index is increased from 0.5 to 0.8.
