What is AM?
Amplitude Modulation is the done by modulating the Amplitude of an sinoid Carrier signal using the incoming signal.
The Carrier signal is a sinusoid with a fixed Frequency at least twice as high as the highest frequency occuring in the spectrum of the incoming signal. Usually a much higher frequency is choosen.
Amplitude Modulation schemes have been widely used in Analog Radio.
Mathematical Setting
The output signal is the simple product of incoming signal and Carrier Signal.
An Example
|
Carrier Signal in frequency domain (to be added) |
|
Modulating Signal in frequency domain (to be added) |
|
AM Signal in frequency domain (to be added) |
Special Kinds of AM
- DSSC, Double Sideband Supressed Carrier
- SSB, Single Side Band
- Residual Sideband Modulation (modulation used for analog TV applications)
- QAM, Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
