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

The carrier wave of an a.m. transmission is of fixed frequency, and, until modulation is applied, is of fixed amplitude too.

When modulation is applied, the amplitude (the strength) of the carrier varies in direct proportion to the amplitude of the modulation, and at the same rate as the frequency of modulation.

The amplitude of an f.m. transmission's carrier is fixed, and, until modulation is applied, so is its frequency.

When modulation is applied, the frequency of the carrier varies above and below its nominal frequency (the carrier is said to be deviated) at a rate directly proportional to the modulating frequency. The deviation is proportional to the amplitude of the modulation. The louder the modulation, the more the carrier is deviated.

Did you know that a.m. and tremolo are the same thing, and that f.m. and vibrato are the same thing?

What are the differences between AM and FM radio?

The main difference between AM and FM radio is the dial-in number and the amount of static each receive. AM radio preceded FM radio, with FM becoming popular in the 1950s.

Why do FM radio stations have better coverage than AM stations?

There is no "why", because they don't. -- In the language of radio engineering, "coverage" means how far out from their tower they can reach listeners. AM broadcast stations win that contest hands-down, mainly because of the differences in radio propagation at 1 MHz vs. 100 MHz. -- If you mean the quality, clarity, and crisp cleanliness of the sound, FM wins that one, because of the technical difference between the AM and FM modulation processes.


Difference between satellite radio and regular radio?

One of the main differences between satellite radio and FM radio is that there is a cost for satellite and FM is free. Satellite radio also does not operate using the same numerical AM and FM channels as FM radio.

What is the difference between FM and AM?

AM and FM - Difference AM stands for amplitude modulation. It is the older technology for broadcast radio. In an AM signal, the carrier frequency is fixed and the information (audio or other signal) is transmitted by varying the magnitude of the carrier wave. FM stands for frequency modulation. In an FM signal, the magnitude of the carrier wave is fixed and the information is transmitted by varying the frequency of the carrier. An FM receiver can produce a better signal-to-noise ratio, since lightning and other electrostatic noises in the atmosphere can be mistaken for changes in amplitude of an AM signal, but do not resemble the changes in frequency in an FM signal. This led to FM being used increasingly for music broadcasts, where noise was particularly bothersome. As it turns out, AM broadcast stations were also allocated limited bandwidth, which restricted their ability to transmit high-fidelity audio. FM broadcast frequencies were not so restricted. That meant that FM also had better audio bandwidth as well as better signal-to-noise ratio. However, that was a result of the technical decisions by the FCC (and its equivalent in other countries), not an inherent difference between AM and FM technology. There are of course, additional modulation systems for each type of carrier, but that largely depends on the application. Television (NTSC) uses both AM (picture) and FM (sound). HDTV uses digital modulation for both picture and sound.
