amplitude modulation using collector modulator gives:
More symmetrical envelope
• Higher power efficiency
• Higher output power
• Need higher amplitude modulating
signal
Collector modulation is the amplitude modulation in which modulator varies the collector voltage of a transistor.
the maximum amplitude of carrier wave varied with respect to instantaneous values of message signal is called amplitude modulation
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.
AM - Amplitude Modulation FM - Frequency Modulation
QAM is a combination of phase modulation & amplitude 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.
The amplitude is the amount of power the transmitter is putting out depending the signal being fed into it from the source. It varies constantly with the signal. It is called amplitude modulation. Modulation of over %100 can cause the transmitter to send harmonics called band splatter.
