let's see this one get there, too. :)
Let's see if this gets to the list !
100 percent modulated AM transmitter
will show 22 percent power output increase
during a sustained 100 percent modulation
condition !
This is different from what I would expect to happen.
To start with, one takes a carrier or some power, then
one modulates its amplitude. This process spreads some
of the energy into the symetrical side bands--taking
power out of the carrier, thus causing 'downward
modulation' of the carrier, right? I believe the
Yaesu FT-817 uses this scheme for its AM transmit. I
think it was described as 'early modulation' of the
signal. Does that mean anything to you?
How would one modulate a carrier and add power? I
must be very lost.
