Homework 3
1. Consider a message signal
m(t) = 2sinc(8t)
this is applied to an AM modulator with a carrier wave

c(t) = 3 cos(50⇡t)

(a) (10 points) Derive the Fourier transform of m(t).

(b) (5 points) Plot the spectrum of m(t).
(c) (20 points) Find the Fourier transform S(f ) of the AM modulated signal s(t) for ka = 0.3.
(d) (5 points) Plot S(f ).
(e) (10 points) What is the bandwidth of s(t)?
