Only in an AM system. In an FM system, variations in carrier amplitude
are ironed out with hard limiting before demodulation.
The frequency components at the output of a modulator typically include the carrier frequency and the sidebands generated by the modulation process. For amplitude modulation (AM), the output contains the carrier frequency along with upper and lower sidebands, which are spaced from the carrier by the modulating frequency. In frequency modulation (FM), the output consists of the carrier frequency and a series of sidebands determined by Bessel functions, reflecting the modulation index. The specific frequencies present depend on the modulation scheme and the characteristics of the input signal.
Your question doesn't give enough detail. AM typically stands for amplitude modulation. It is how AM radio works. A constant frequency is transmitted and the amplitude is varied to modulate the carrier wave with an information signal such as a song. Hence if you were examining how an AM signal changed you would see changes in the peak-to-peak voltage of the carrier frequency waveform.
There are three major types of modulation:AM, Amplitude Modulation, where the modulation signal is altering the amplitude of the carrier according to its own amplitude, normally this is done in the output stage. Therefor a strong audio signal is necessary at the same or a little less than the power of the carrier, never higher, because that will over modulate the carrier that will resort in distortion of the receiver output. AM is used in the lower band of the RF spectrum.FM, Frequency Modulation, where the frequency of the carrier is altered by the audio signal. When the amplitude of the audio is going higher the frequency go lower. Modulation happen at the oscillator stage, therefor a small audio signal is used to modulate the frequency. FM is normally used in the higher frequency range of the RF spectrum, 50MHz and up.FSK, Frequency-shift keying, used for data transmission, this type of modulation is simply, switching the carrier on and of, a high bit will switch the oscillator on and a low bit will switch it off, in some designs a low will be on and a high off.
A collector modulator is a type of amplitude modulation (AM) used in RF (radio frequency) transmitters, where the modulation of the carrier signal occurs in the collector circuit of a transistor. The input audio signal varies the base current, which in turn controls the collector current and voltage, resulting in variations of the output RF signal's amplitude. This modulation technique allows for efficient transmission of audio signals over radio waves, as the carrier's amplitude reflects the changes in the input signal. The collector modulator is favored for its simplicity and effectiveness in generating modulated signals.
To extract amplitude and phase information from the AC output of a Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT), you can use a combination of a precision rectifier and a phase-sensitive detector (PSD). The precision rectifier converts the AC signal to a DC level proportional to the amplitude, while the PSD, synchronized with the reference signal, measures the phase difference between the AC output and the reference signal. By processing the rectified signal and the output from the PSD, you can obtain both the amplitude and phase information of the LVDT output. Additionally, using an oscilloscope can visualize both the amplitude and phase for further analysis.
The demodulated output is directly affected by changes in carrier amplitude. As the carrier amplitude increases, the demodulated output will also increase in magnitude. Conversely, if the carrier amplitude decreases, the demodulated output will decrease as well. Maintaining a consistent carrier amplitude is crucial for accurate demodulation in communication systems.
In an AM system, definitely. In any other system, amplitude variations are intentionally ironed out, by hard limiting, before demodulation.

No, the carrier signal is not present at the output of double side band suppressed carrier. That is what suppressed carrier means. However, the receiver has enough information to regenerate the carrier if need be. The advantage of suppressed carrier mode is that more power can be deployed to the signal-carrying portion of the modulated carrier.
A collector modulator is a type of amplitude modulation (AM) used in RF (radio frequency) transmitters, where the modulation of the carrier signal occurs in the collector circuit of a transistor.

To change the amplitude of a triangle wave, you can multiply the output signal by a constant value. Increasing this value will increase the amplitude, and decreasing it will decrease the amplitude. Alternatively, you can adjust the voltage levels or inputs to the waveform generator to change the amplitude.
Frequency modulation (FM) is considered a form of nonlinear modulation. In FM, the frequency of the carrier wave varies in accordance with the amplitude of the input signal, which can lead to a complex relationship between the input and output signals. This nonlinearity is characterized by the generation of sidebands and additional frequency components that are not present in the original signal. Thus, FM does not maintain a direct proportionality between input and output, distinguishing it from linear modulations like amplitude modulation (AM).
amplitude modulation using collector modulator gives:More symmetrical envelope• Higher power efficiency• Higher output power• Need higher amplitude modulatingsignal
It would depend on what the output device was
