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
em = Em sinwmt
…(1)
And the carrier signal be represented as.
ec = Ec sinwct
… (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 + em
= Ec + Em sinwmt
= Ec +m Ec sinwmt
= Ec [1+m sinwmt]
… (3)
Thus amplitude modulated signal can be represented in time domain as
E = A sin0
E= A sinwct
= Ec [1+m sinwmt]* sinwct
= Ec sinwct +mEc sinwct sinwmt
= Ec sinwct +(mEc /2)*2 sinwct sinwmt
= Ec sinwct +(mEc /2) [cos( wc +wm)t + cos( wc-wm)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.
Modulation index can be practically can be
calculated measured using two method.
•Using an AM signal.
•Using an trapezoidal display.

In this method the Am signal is connected vertical deflection and the
modulation signal is applied to the horizontal deflection plate of the
oscilloscope. The display on the screen of oscilloscope is trapezoidal as
shown in fig.

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.

Putting the value of (2) and (3) in equation (1). Then result is :
Pt = Pc [ 1 + m2 / 2]

The maximum power in the AM corresponding to m=1 is Pt = 1.5 Pc.
This is important that relevant amplifier must be capable of handling
without distortion.

Let Ic be the unmodulated carrier current and It be the modulated
current r is the resistance in which the current flow.

If the frequency of the carrier is made to varying in accordance with instantaneous
Value of the modulating signal, the process is called FM.
Expression: In FM the frequency of the carrier varies the amount by which the carrier
frequency and varied from its unmodulated value is called deviation.
And the deviation is perpendicular to the Instantaneous value of
modulating signal. The instantaneous value of frequency of the modulated carreier is
given by:
f = fc + fc kf Em coswmt
= fc [1 + kf Em coswmt ]
……..(1)
Fc = unmodulated carrier frequency.
Kf = proportionality constant
Em coswmt = Instantaneous modulated voltage
Maximum Frequency deviation
fmin = fc (1-kEm)
fmax = fc (1+kEm)[]
= fmax – fc = fc – fmin = kf Emfc ……….2
Considering again equation (1)
f = fc [1 + kf Em coswmt ]
w = wc [1 + kf Em coswmt ]
But angular velocity
W= do / dt
O = wdt
Put the value of w
O = wc [1 + kf Em cos wmt ] dt
= wct + wc kf Em sinwmt

From equation (4) and (5)

efm(t) = Ec sin (wct + Mf sinwmt ) Ans.
The Expression for FM is not simple. It is complex since, it is a sine of
sine function. The only way to solve this equation is using Bessel’s
Function. By using Bessel’s Function. The equation for FM wave can be
expanded. As follows.
efm = s(t)= Ec { jo (Mf) sinwct } + j1Mf { sin( wc +wm)t – sin (wc-wm)t }
+j2Mf { sin(wc+2wm) t + sin (wc-2wm)t }+
j3Mf { sin( wc+3wm)t – sin (wc-3wm)t } +
j4Mf { sin( wc +4wm)t – sin (wc-4wm)t } +………….(*)

carrier.
2. FM consist of infinite no. of side band. All terms except first term.
3. The amplitude of the carrier and the side band depend is depends
on ‘j’ coefficient. The value of these coefficient can be term the
graph.

not dependent upon modulation index. The region for this is that the
amplitude of FM wave is constant.
