Amplitude Modulation

Amplitude of the carrier is varied


according to the amplitude of the
modulating signal (also called as
Audio Frequency(AF)/Information
Signal)

Amplitude of the carrier wave is


varied in proportion to the Instan-
taneous Amplitude of the AF sig-
nal. This also changes the inten-
sity of the carrier signal.

Greater the amplitude of the AF


signal, greater are the fluctuations
in the amplitude of carrier wave. Figure: (a) Modulating signal (b) Amplitude modulated

The envelope of the modulated


carrier wave is an exact replica of
the modulating signal.

Fluctuation in the carrier wave am-


plitude is dependent upon the am-

Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier


In this system, the carrier is suppressed and sidebands are transmitted
only. For 100% modulation (m=1), carrier signal contains 2/3 of the total
transmitted power.
With m=1, suppression of the carrier saves 2/3 of the total transmitted
power(Approximately 66.67% of PT ).

Single Sideband Suppressed Carrier


In this case, carrier along with one side band is suppressed and only one
sideband is transmitted. For 100% modulation(m=1), the total power
content of carrier and one sideband is equal to 5/6 of the total transmitted
power.
With m=1, suppression of carrier and one sideband saves 5/6 of the total
transmitted power (Approximately 83.34% of PT).
