Question:

The output of LVDT with input mechanical motion of 10 Hz and excitation frequency of 400 Hz will contain frequencies:

Show Hint

LVDT output = AM signal with frequencies: carrier \(\pm\) modulation → \(f_c \pm f_m\)
Updated On: June 02, 2025
  • 10 Hz and 400 Hz
  • 400 Hz only
  • 10 Hz only
  • 390 Hz and 410 Hz

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

In LVDTs, the output signal is modulated at the excitation frequency. When a sinusoidal excitation of \(f_c = 400\) Hz is modulated by motion at 10 Hz, the resulting output contains sidebands: \[ f_c \pm f_m = 400 \pm 10 = 390\ \text{Hz and } 410\ \text{Hz} \]
