What is Amplitude Modulation?
Amplitude of the carrier is changed in accordance with the modulating signal amplitude, but the frequency remains constant.
Hence the carrier wave envelope follows the message signal amplitude.
The maximum and minimum amplitude in AM signal can be varied to have change in modulation depth.
Advantages
● AM is usable with simple modulators and demodulators
● Relatively inexpensive
● AM wave can travel longer distance comparatively
● Large coverage area than other modulations
Disadvantages
● Poor performance in the presence of noise
● Transmitted power is wasted in sidebands
● Wastage of bandwidths
Applications
● Used in low quality modulation employed for commercial purposes for broadcasting audio and video signals.
● Used in two-way mobile radio communications such as citizens band(CB)
● Aircraft communication in VHF band.
