Amplitude modulation is the process in which amplitude of the high frequency carrier wave is varies in accordance with the instantaneous value of modulating signal. EXPRESSION FOR AMPLITUDE MODULATED WAVE Let the modulated signal be represented as e m = Em sinw m t …(1) And the carrier signal be represented as. e c = Ec sinw c t … (2) “Depth of modulation” (m) or the “modulation index” is given by m= Em/Ec Now the amplitude of the modulated signal is given by A=Ec + e m Let the modulated signal be represented as e m = Em sinw m t …(1) And the carrier signal be represented as. e c = Ec sinw c t … (2) “Depth of modulation” (m) or the “modulation index” is given by m= Em/Ec Now the amplitude of the modulated signal is given by A=Ec + e m

= Ec + E m sinw m t = Ec +m Ec sinw m t = Ec [1+m sinw m t] … (3) Thus amplitude modulated signal can be represented in time domain as E = A sin0 E= A sinw c t = Ec [1+m sinw m t]* sinw c t = Ec sinw c t +mEc sinw c t sinw m t = E c sinw c t +(mEc /2)*2 sinwct sinwmt = Ec sinwct +(mEc /2) [cos( w c +w m )t + cos( w c -w m )t] …(4) Thus it has been shown that the equation of an amplitude modulated wave contains three terms. The first term is identical to equation (2) and represent the the unmodulated carrier. It is thus apparent that the process of amplitude modulation has the effect of adding term to the unmodulated wave, rather than changing it. = Ec + E m sinw m t = Ec +m Ec sinw m t = Ec [1+m sinw m t] … (3) Thus amplitude modulated signal can be represented in time domain as E = A sin0 E= A sinw c t = Ec [1+m sinw m t]* sinw c t = Ec sinw c t +mEc sinw c t sinw m t = E c sinw c t +(mEc /2)*2 sinwct sinwmt = Ec sinwct +(mEc /2) [cos( w c +w m )t + cos( w c -w m )t] …(4) Thus it has been shown that the equation of an amplitude modulated wave contains three terms.

Relative Power Distribution in AM Wave It is clear that modulated carrier wave contain more power as compared to unmodulated wave became of fact it contain two or more side band. The total power will depend upon the modulation index. P t = E c + E LSB + E USB ………….(1) R R R Where all the voltage signal have r.m.s value and R represents the antenna resistance. 222 P c = (E c / ) R =Ec /2R ……………(2) Similarly P lsb = P usb = [ (m Ec/2) / 2 ] = m Ec / 8R ………(3)

Putting the value of (2) and (3) in equation (1). Then result is : The maximum power in the AM corresponding to m=1 is P t = 1.5 Pc. This is important that relevant amplifier must be capable of handling without distortion. Current Calculation Let I c be the unmodulated carrier current and I t be the modulated current r is the resistance in which the current flow. P t / P c = I t R / I c R = [ 1 + m /2 ] I t / I c = 1 + m / 2 I t = I c 1+ m / 2 2 P t = P c [ 1 + m / 2]

Bandwidth = 2( + fm ). BW depends on. BW is much less than FM. Ground wave and sky wave propagation is used. Therefore large area is concerned. AM equipments for modulation are less complex. No. of side band will be two and more constant. Bandwidth = 2 f m BW is large hence wide channel is required. Space wave is used for propagation so radius of transmission is limited. FM transmission and reception the equipment are complex. NO. of side band having significant amplitude depends upon modulation index.
