Which one of the following statements is correct for full amplitude modulation ? Correct Answer The spectrum consists of two sidebands (one termed the upper sideband and the other termed the lower sideband).

Amplitude Modulation:

  • Amplitude modulation is a process by which the wave signal is transmitted by modulating the amplitude of the signal.
  • It is often called AM and is commonly used in transmitting a piece of information through a radio carrier wave.
  • Amplitude modulation is mostly used in the form of electronic communication.
  • It is used in many areas of communication such as in portable two-way radios; citizens band radio, VHF aircraft radio, and in modems for computers.
  • Here, the spectrum consists of the upper sideband and the lower sideband.
  • For the mechanism, when amplitude modulation is used there is a variation in the amplitude of the carrier. Here, the voltage or the power level of the information signal changes the amplitude of the carrier. In AM, the carrier does not vary in amplitude.
  • The AM technique is totally different from frequency modulation and phase modulation where the frequency of the carrier signal is varied in the first case and in the second one the phase is varied respectively.
