Let c(t)=Accos(2πfct) and m(t)=cos(2πfmt) It is given that fc>>5fm. The signal c(t)+m(t) is applied to the input of a non-linear device, whose output vo(t) is related to the input vi(t) as vo(t)=avi(t)+bvi2(t), where a and b are positive constants. The output of the non-linear device is passed through an ideal band-pass filter with center frequency fc and bandwidth 3fm, to produce an amplitude modulated (AM) wave. If it is desired to have the sideband power of the AM wave to be half of the carrier power, then a/b is
A
0.25
B
0.5
C
1
D
2

Correct : d
