Problem 4 Switching AM Modulator (15 points)

In the figure below (page 150 in Agbo and Sadiku), the carrier signal
Accos(ct) has an amplitude of 20 volts and the diode turn-on voltage is 0.7
volt (assume this to be small compared to 20 volts). The message signal
has a DC component and is given by m(t) - , where  is a constant. In
addition, the message signal bandwidth is B Hz, and c >> 2B. Derive an
expression for y(t), the output signal of the AM modulator.

Homework 4
Let

voltage. Assume both diodes are identical and that Rf, the series
resistance of each diode when forward biased, is negligible relative to the
external resistance R. The bandwidth of m(t) is m and C >> m. Derive
an expression for the output signal y(t).
