in a dsb am system, the carrier is c(t)=acos(2pfct) and  the message signal is given by m(t)=sinc (t)+sinc2(t). find the bandwidth of the modulated signal.

To find the bandwidth of the modulated signal in a DSB-AM system, we need to consider the frequency components present in the message signal.

The message signal is given by m(t) = sinc(t) + sinc^2(t), where sinc(t) represents the sinc function.

The sinc function has a main lobe centered around t = 0, and it decays towards zero as t moves away from zero. The width of the main lobe is inversely proportional to the duration of the sinc function.

In this case, we have two sinc functions: sinc(t) and sinc^2(t). The sinc^2(t) function has a narrower main lobe compared to sinc(t), as squaring the sinc function compresses its width.

To determine the bandwidth of the modulated signal, we need to consider the frequency components of the message signal that contribute significantly to the overall spectrum.

Since the carrier signal is given by c(t) = acos(2πfct), the modulated signal will have frequency components centered around the carrier frequency fc.

The bandwidth of the modulated signal can be approximated by considering the frequency range where the message signal has significant energy.

In this case, the sinc(t) function has a main lobe that extends from -1/2T to 1/2T, where T is the duration of the sinc function. The sinc^2(t) function has a narrower main lobe that extends from -1/4T to 1/4T.

Therefore, the bandwidth of the modulated signal can be estimated as the sum of the bandwidths of the sinc(t) and sinc^2(t) functions.

The bandwidth of sinc(t) is approximately 1/T, and the bandwidth of sinc^2(t) is approximately 1/(2T).

Hence, the total bandwidth of the modulated signal is approximately 1/T + 1/(2T) = 3/(2T).

Therefore, the bandwidth of the modulated signal in this DSB-AM system is approximately 3/(2T).
