Presentation On Am Modulation & Power and Current Calculation

1. Amplitude modulation (AM) encodes information from a modulating signal onto a carrier wave by varying the carrier wave's amplitude in proportion to the modulating signal. 2. The mathematical representation of an AM wave shows the carrier amplitude is modulated by the modulating signal to create variations in the envelope. 3. The modulation index is defined as the ratio of the modulating signal amplitude to the carrier amplitude and determines the degree of modulation. It can be calculated from the maximum and minimum amplitudes of the AM wave.

Amplitude modulation
Amplitude modulation
Amplitude modulation
1. The frequency of sinusoidal carrier is much
higher than the modulating signal.
2. In AM instantaneous amplitude of the
sinusoidal high frequency carrier is change in
proportion to the instantaneous amplitude of
modulating signal
3. The information in the AM signal is contain in
the amplitude variations of the carrier of the
envelope
4. Note the frequency and phase of the carrier
remain constant
5. AM is used in the application such as radio
Mathematical representation of AM wave
let the mod ulating signal be represente d as
em  Em cos mt........(1)
em  ins tan tan eous amplitude of mod ulating signal
m  frequency of mod ulating signal
let the carrier signal be represente d as
ec  Ec cos ct........(2)
Ec  peak amplitude of carrier signal
c  frequency of carrier signal
ec  A cos(2f c )t........(3)
where A repersent theins tan tan eous valeof envelope
A  Ec  em  Ec  Em cos(2f m )t
Hence AM wave is given by
e AM  A cos(2f c )t   Ec  Em cos(2f m )t  cos(2f c )t

let m  m mod ulation index
Ec
e AM  Ec 1  m cos(2f m )t  cos(2f c )t
this represents the AM signal
Modulation Index

(m) is defined as the ratio of amplitudes
of the modulating and carrier waves as
