This is hard to explain. AM means amplitude modulation, while ASK is amplitude-shift keying. AM is usually analog as it is modulated based on the strength of the signal, though you can use it to send a digital signal. ASK represents digital data as variations in the amplitude of a carrier wave. Any digital modulation technique will represent the data using a finite number of different signals. While AM is used mostly for radio and television, ASK is used for telegraph signals, transmission across telecommunications equipment, and fiber optics.

There is no difference.


What is the difference between frequency modulation and phase modulation?

The difference between frequency modulation and phase modulation is that with frequency modulation the angular frequency of the signal is modified while with the phase modulation, the phase angle of the signal is modified.


What is the difference between pulse code modulation and delta modulation?

The difference between pulse code modulation and delta modulation is that pulse code modulation is a method of encoding audio information digitally while delta modulation is a method that converts analog to digital signal.


What is the difference between analog and digital modulation Does it depends on baseband signal?

The basic difference is that in analog modulation the modulating signal is analog signal and in digital modulation it is in digital form.


Difference between delta modulation and differential pulse code modulation?

Delta modulation is not a type of quality conversion and runs on digital-to-analog, analog-to-digital. Differential pulse code modulation has a higher quality of conversion and runs on a 1-bit data stream.

What is difference between ask and am?

The most fundamental difference, I would say, is that Amplitude Modulation (AM) is a kind of Analog Modulation Technique (the modulation is applied continuously in response to the analog information signal) where Amplitude Shift Keying is a type of Digital Modulation Technique ( an analog carrier signal is modulated by a discrete signal, digital modulation methods can be considered as digital-to-analog conversion, and the corresponding demodulation or detection as analog-to-digital conversion. The changes in the carrier signal are chosen from a finite number of M alternative symbols).


Compare pulse code modulation and delta modulation?

delta modulation refers to the procedure of encoding and thereby transmitting only the difference between consecutive samples instead of sending each of the samples themselves. This method is useful only when the vaiation in the amplitude of the signal is small, otherwise, it leads to a phenomenon called "slope overload".Pulse code modulation is the procedure where each of the levels of an analog signal is assigned a value closest ro a quantizer level used to quantize the signal...Another method of PCM that can be confused with Delta Modulation is the D(ifferential)PCM. Here, the difference between the signals is encoded based on its magnitude..

Difference between mixing and modulation?

Well modulation is just simply moduling something into shape but mixing is just turn the mixture round and round till it is all squashed together.


What is the difference between key change and modulation in music theory?

In music theory, a key change refers to a shift to a different key within a piece of music, while modulation involves a more gradual transition between keys.
