a normal AM transmitter produces a total output of 24kw when modulated to a depth of 100% determine the power output when the carrier is modulated to a depth of 60%, one sideband is suppressed and the carrier components is attenuated by 26dB?

For AM

\(\frac{P_c}{P_t}=\frac{1}{(1+\frac{m^2}{2})}\)

Pc= Carrier Power
Pt=Total power (Carrier power + two sidebands of equal power)
m=modulation index (as a fraction).

This might be a useful starting point.

With m=1 you are given Pt=24kW.

Calculate the carrier power and proceed with the new conditions applied to find the new total power at 60% modulation (m=0.6). You will then be able to deduce the sideband powers. And so on.
