Describe amplitude modulation.

What will be an ideal response?


The height of a wave, known as the amplitude, can be measured in volts (electrical pressure). In amplitude modulation (AM), the height of the wave is changed in accordance with the height of another analog signal, called the modulating signal. In the case of an AM radio station, the modulating signal is the voice of the announcer or the music, which is also an analog signal. The carrier wave's frequency and phase remain constant.
