QAM is a combination of phase modulation & amplitude modulation.
The aim is to increase capacity of the system as the signal can be represented using different phase angles as well as amplitude. F.Mmbaga
the maximum amplitude of carrier wave varied with respect to instantaneous values of message signal is called amplitude modulation
AM imply amplitude modulation of a carrier signal
because noise usually changes the amplitude not frequency.
Pulse-Amplitude Modulation
by maximizing the measurable differences between shifts in phase and amplitude

Without modulation, there's be no way to get any information onto a carrier signal. There are several different types of modulation schemes for radio carriers and almost as many different types demodulators to decode the information so that it can be converted into a usable form. For instance, AM (amplitude modulation), FM (frequency modulation), digital modulation, quadrature amplitude, etc.
AM - Amplitude Modulation FM - Frequency Modulation
In amplitude modulation, modulation depth refers to the ratio of the unmodulated carrier amplitude to the amplitude deviation for which the modulated carrier wave reaches its minimum value. If this minimum value is zero, the modulation depth is 100%.For amplitude modulation,modulation depth = (a-b)/(a+b),wherea is the unmodulated carrier amplitude, andb is the minimum amplitude deviation.The modulation depth ratio is also referred to as the modulation index.
amplitude modulation is where we modulate our signal with a carrier signal amplitude changes but frequency remains constant in amplitude modulation
Frequency modulation have some advantages over amplitude modulation, FM is not sensitive to the amplitude noise, and have high efficient use of transmitted power
Normal frequency range for amplitude modulation is 550kHz to 1610kHz
In amplitude modulation, modulation depth refers to the ratio of the unmodulated carrier amplitude to the amplitude deviation for which the modulated carrier wave reaches its minimum value. If this minimum value is zero, the modulation depth is 100%.For amplitude modulation,modulation depth = (a-b)/(a+b),wherea is the unmodulated carrier amplitude, andb is the minimum amplitude deviation.The modulation depth ratio is also referred to as the modulation index.
Amplitude modulation is a method of sending information by modifying the intensity of a carrier wave.
