When the modulation index is expressed as a percentage, it is commonly referred to as the "percentage modulation." This representation indicates the extent of modulation in relation to the carrier signal, showing how much the amplitude of the carrier varies due to the modulating signal. It provides a clearer understanding of modulation depth for practical applications in communication systems.
The depth of modulation index refers to the extent to which a carrier signal is varied by a modulating signal in amplitude modulation (AM). It is typically expressed as a percentage and indicates how much the amplitude of the carrier wave changes in response to the modulating signal. A modulation index of 100% means full modulation, where the carrier's amplitude varies completely with the modulating signal. Values above 100% can lead to distortion and over-modulation, impacting the quality of the transmitted signal.
In amplitude modulation (AM), the modulation index (m) represents the ratio of the peak amplitude of the modulating signal to the peak amplitude of the carrier signal. The transmitted power in an AM signal increases with the modulation index, as higher modulation indices lead to greater variations in the carrier's amplitude. Specifically, the total transmitted power can be expressed as a function of the carrier power and the modulation index, with more power being allocated to sidebands as m increases. However, beyond a certain point, further increasing the modulation index can lead to distortion, as the signal may exceed the linear range of the amplifier.
Modulation Index is the ratio of the maximum deviation frequency to the frequency of modulation. In other words it is the ratio of the spread in frequency spectrum to the frequency that was used to modulate the carrier. For FM, modulation index is given by the formula mf= df/f where, mf=modulation index for FM df=difference in carrier frequency f=frequency of the signal
In Frequency Modulation (FM), if the modulation frequency is doubled, the modulation index does not necessarily double; it depends on the amplitude of the modulating signal. In Amplitude Modulation (AM), the modulation index is defined as the ratio of the peak amplitude of the modulating signal to the carrier amplitude, so it remains unchanged with varying modulation frequency. For Phase Modulation (PM), similar to FM, the modulation index is influenced by the amplitude of the modulating signal and does not inherently double with the modulation frequency. Thus, modulation frequency and modulation index are not directly linked in this way for FM, PM, or AM.
the maximum amplitude of carrier wave varied with respect to instantaneous values of message signal is called amplitude modulation
Modulation index is also called as Modulation depth. The modulation index of a modulation scheme describes by how much the modulated variable of the carrier signal varies around its unmodulated level.
The depth of modulation index refers to the extent to which a carrier signal is varied by a modulating signal in amplitude modulation (AM). It is typically expressed as a percentage and indicates how much the amplitude of the carrier wave changes in response to the modulating signal. A modulation index of 100% means full modulation, where the carrier's amplitude varies completely with the modulating signal. Values above 100% can lead to distortion and over-modulation, impacting the quality of the transmitted signal.
a measure of the degree of frequency modulation expressed numerically for a pure tone modulation as the ratio of the frequency deviation to the frequency of the modulating signal.
The range of modulation index in amplitude modulation (AM) is typically between 0 and 1. A modulation index of 0 indicates no modulation, while a modulation index of 1 represents full modulation where the carrier signal amplitude varies from zero to peak value.
In amplitude modulation (AM), the modulation index (m) represents the ratio of the peak amplitude of the modulating signal to the peak amplitude of the carrier signal. The transmitted power in an AM signal increases with the modulation index, as higher modulation indices lead to greater variations in the carrier's amplitude.

The percentage power saving when replacing an AM transmitter with modulation index of 0.5 with an SSBSC transmitter with the same modulation index would be approximately 93.75%. This is because SSBSC transmitters only transmit one sideband, while AM transmitters transmit both sidebands, resulting in less power usage and more efficiency.
