    A diode detector is used to detect an amplitude modulated wave of \[60%\] modulation by using a condenser of capacity 250 picofarad in parallel with a load resistance 100 kilo ohm. Find the maximum modulated frequency which could be detected by it.  

    A) 10.62 MHz                    

    B) 10.61 kHz

    C) 5.31 MHz                     

    D) 5.31 kHz

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given: Resistance \[\operatorname{R}= 100 kilo ohm =\,\,100 \times 1{{0}^{3}}\Omega \] \[\operatorname{Capacitance}\,\,C=250picofarad=250\times {{10}^{-\,12}}F\] \[\tau = RC = 100 \times  1{{0}^{3}}\times  250 \times  1{{0}^{-}}^{12}\,sec\] \[=\,\,\,2.5\times 1{{0}^{7}}\times 1{{0}^{-}}^{12}\,sec\] \[=\,\,\,2.5\times {{10}^{-\,5}}\,sec\] The higher frequency which can be detected with tolerable distortion is \[f=\frac{1}{2\pi {{m}_{a}}RC}=\frac{1}{2\pi \times 0.6\times 2.5\times {{10}^{-5}}}Hz\] \[=\,\,\frac{100\times {{10}^{4}}}{25\times 1.2\pi }Hz\] \[=\,\,\frac{4}{1.2\pi }\times {{10}^{4}}\,Hz\] \[=\,\,\,1\,0.61 kHz\] This condition is obtained by applying the condition that rate of decay of capacitor voltage must be equal or less then the rate of decay modulated singnal voltage for proper detection of mdoulated signal.
