Frequency modulation and Phase 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.
AM imply amplitude modulation of a carrier signal
FM stands for frequency modulation. The definition is: when the frequency of the carrier wave is changed in accordance with the intensity of the signal, it is called frequency modulation. In frequency modulation, only the frequency of the carrier wave is changed in accordance with the signal. However, the amplitude of the carrier wave remains unchanged.

low level amplitude modulation occurs when the carrier signal is first modulated and then amplified,whereas in high level modulation,the carrier signal is first amplified and then is modulated.
Amplitude modulation is a method of sending information by modifying the intensity of a carrier wave.
amplitude modulation is where we modulate our signal with a carrier signal amplitude changes but frequency remains constant in amplitude modulation
amplitude modulating signal
the maximum amplitude of carrier wave varied with respect to instantaneous values of message signal is called amplitude modulation
Amplitude of the (high frequency) Carrier signal is varied with respect to low frequency of message signal is called amplitude modulation. Frequency of the carrier signal is varied with respect to low frequency of message signal is called frequency modulation.
Amplitude modulation.
In a analog transmitter the RF carrier have to be modulated with the analog signal either by AM or FM where in digital transmitter the carrier is simply switched on and off a off = a zero and on = a one
