	Amplitude modulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amplitude modulation (AM) is a form of modulation in which the amplitude of a carrier wave is varied in direct proportion to that of a modulating signal.
		This is single-sideband modulation, widely used in amateur radio due to its efficient use of both power and bandwidth.
		An approach which marries the advantages of low-level modulation with the efficiency of a Class C power amplifier chain is to arrange a feedback system to compensate for the substantial distortion of the AM envelope.

	Multiplication: amplitude modulation
		The operation is known as amplitude modulation, because the instantaneous amplitude of the carrier signal varies with the amplitude of the modulation signal.
		Amplitude modulated long, medium and short wave radio signals are produced by multiplying a radio frequency signal (the carrier wave) with an audio frequency signal superimposed on a constant positive signal (DC component) of at least its own amplitude, the modulation signal.
		Technically, segment is not `simply' a chunk of the signal, but a window, which is an amplitude modulation of the signal by a value of 0 for all signals outside the window time segment, and by 1 for all values within the window time segment.

	Measuring modulation (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The average textbook definition of modulation reads: modulation is a process in which the frequency, phase or amplitude of a carrier wave varies in step with the instantaneous value of the modulating signal.
		The carrier amplitude does not vary with modulation and modulation is usually performed in the oscillator stage at a low level.
		Modulation measuring equipment has been on the market for a long time, but there are times when a modulation monitor is not available or the monitor's accuracy is in doubt.

		In part (a), since the plot of the modulated carrier is relative to the unmodulated carrier, an unmodulated carrier appears as a fixed vector along the positive I axis.
		Euler's identity is utilized to show that the modulating signal comprises both a positive and negative frequency component; otherwise the modulated carrier would not stay on the I axis.
		The spectrum of the modulated carrier, shown in the upper left corner of the simulation screen, is that of double-sideband, suppressed-carrier amplitude modulation.

	``Classical'' Amplitude Modulation
		A modulation index, m, is used to control the modulating oscillator amplitude in proportion to the unmodulated carrier oscillator amplitude A.
		When m = 1, the amplitude of the modulating oscillator is equal to the unmodulated carrier amplitude, which represents 100% modulation.
		The modulation index controls the amplitude of each of the sideband frequencies by a factor m/2, but does not affect the carrier frequency amplitude.

	Beats and amplitude modulation (Site not responding. Last check: )
		From what we have seen previously, when the two waves are "in phase" there is constructive interference, meaning the amplitudes of the two waves add to make a wave with twice the amplitude (and hence, four times the intensity) of the individual pure tones.
		The consequence of the two pure tones alternating between being "in phase" and "out of phase" is evident by the modulation of the amplitude of the superposed wave.
		Amplitude Modulation (AM) is one of the two basic ways that radio signals are transmitted (the other is frequency modulation or FM).

	Modulation Techniques
		In amplitude modulation, the circuit or the modulator combines the carrier wave (Fig 1) and the message signal (Fig 2) to form a modulated wave (Fig 3) that is a carrier wave with change in amplitude.
		The constant Ka is the amplitude sensitivity of the modulator or the transmitter.
		If the percentage of modulation is less than or equal to 100%, then the demodulation circuit used to recover the message signal from the incoming AM wave is greatly simplified.

	Types of Synthesis - The Sonic Spot
		The modulation signal can be used as an envelope which is applied to the carrier signal to determine the audio signals amplitude over time.
		The modulation signal can be also be used to quickly cycle the carrier signal's amplitude to form two additional frequencies known as sidebands, forming harmonic or non-harmonic sounds.
		When the modulation signal is used to quickly cycle the carrier signal's amplitude, like AM synthesis it forms two additional sidebands, but the carrier signal is cancelled out and disappears.
