One disadvantage of the standard amplitude modulation system is that 67% of the power is used for the carrier, but the carrier transmits no information, so it can be considered as wasted power.
The 34% remaining power is split between two mirror opposite sidebands so, in effect, you really only have 17% of your power used to carry the signal.
In olden days all radio stations followed only amplitude modulation to propagate the signals. Presently still some of the radio stations follow the same and mostly have switched over to frequency modulation. Especailly in tv transmission the picture signal is propagated only by amplitude modulation.
The aim is to increase capacity of the system as the signal can be represented using different phase angles as well as amplitude. F.Mmbaga
Morse code and the Telegraph had that technology.
the modulation system is of FM
Need for modulation: 1. Length of the antenna for a transmitter is inversly proportional to the frequency of the signal to be transmitted. So we try shift the frequency of the singal for the transmission to higher frequencies. 2. Every transmission of signal in a bandwidth is assigned with a particular frequency which is attained by modulating the signal with the carrier frequency. Different modulation techniques are implemented according to the requirements and compatibilities
Major disadvantage is that telephone lines are very susceptible to variations in transmission quality that can affect amplitude Ann

Waves can be varied (modulated) by either changing amplitude (amplitude modulation AM) or changing frequency (wavelength) (frequency modulation FM). The modulations are used to carry the information signal.

AM is already an acronym for "amplitude modulation", a system where a radio wave carries a signal by varying the amplitude of the wave. It is opposed to FM or "frequency modulation" where the signal is carried by variations in the wave's frequency. AM should not be confused with the acronym am which stands for "ante meridionem", a Latin phrase meaning "before noon".

Symbol amplitude refers to the magnitude or strength of a symbol in a communication system. It is the intensity of the signal representing a specific symbol, which can impact the signal-to-noise ratio and the quality of the communication. In digital communication, symbol amplitude is crucial for accurate symbol detection and decoding.

Comparing this figure of merit with the corresponding result described in Equation (2.1521 for an FM system, we see that the use of frequency modulation offers the possibility of improved noise performance over amplitude modulation when
