introduction
Modulation is the process by which some characteristics of a carrier is varied in accordance with a modulation wave . Modulation is the process of putting information onto a high frequency carrier for transmission (frequency translation). such a modification is achieved by mean of a process called modulation .
In the modulation process, the
baseband signle is called modulating signal and anther higher frequency signal is called as the carrier. The carrier signal will carry the modulating signal to the destination.
Different of Modulation Method
Analog modulation - The modulating signal and carrier both are analogue signal.
TYPES : Amplitude modulation (AM), Frequency modulation (FM), Phase modulation (PM)

Types of analogmodulation
Digital modulation - The modulating signal is a digital signal , but the carrier is an analogue signal.
TYPES :
Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK), Frequency Shift keying (FSK), Phase Shift Keying (PSK)
Amplitude Modulation
Amplitude Modulation is a process of changing the amplitude of a high frequency carrier signal in proportion with the instantaneous value of modulating signal (information).
Amplitude Modulation is the simplest and earliest form of transmitters.
Figure : Amplitude modulation
AM Characteristics
AM is a nonlinear process Sum and difference frequencies are created that carry the information
modulation index
The ratio between the amplitudes between the amplitudes of the modulating signal and carrier, expressed by the equation:
Em m= Ec
Measurement of Modulation Index
Overmodulation
When the modulation index is greater than 1, overmodulation is present
Modulation Index for Multiple Modulating Frequencies
Two or more sine waves of different, uncorrelated frequencies modulating a single carrier is calculated by the equation:
m= m + m +
2 1
2 2
Full-Carrier AM: Frequency Domain
Time domain information can be obtained using an oscilloscope Frequency domain information can be calculated using Fourier methods, but trigonometric methods are simpler and valid Sidebands are calculated using the formulas at the right
f usb = f c + f m f lsb = f c f m E lsb =E usb mE c = 2
Bandwidth
Signal bandwidth is an important characteristic of any modulation scheme In general, a narrow bandwidth is desirable Bandwidth is calculated by:
B = 2 Fm
fc-fm fC 2fm fc+fm
applications Amplitude Modulation
AM applications include broadcasting in medium- and high-frequency applications, CB radio , and aircraft communications
