Amplitude Modulation is the done by modulating the Amplitude of an sinoid Carrier signal. The Carrier Signal has usually a higher Frequency than the modulating signal.

An Example

special kinds of AM

  • SSB, single side band
  • residual sideband modulation (modulation used for analog TV applications)
