If the modulating system is AM (Amplitude Modulation) then the amplitude of the carrier wave changes with the amplitude of the modulation. On a specrum analyser that shows up as frequency sidebands. If the frequency of the carrier waves depends on the amplitude of the modulating signal that is called FM (frequency modulation). On a spectrum analyser that shows up as sidebands also.

Is The carrier frequency is usually lower than the modulating frequency?

when the frequency is low , energy will be obviously low. To increase the energy of the signal we need to increase the frequency. This is achieved by multiplying the message signal with the carrier signal (with high frequency).


In frequency modulation what happens to the bandwidth when you increase the modulating frequency?

Bandwidth increases as a function of both modulating frequencyand deviation. As deviation increases, pairs of sidebands are generated, each equal to fc+m and fc-m, fc+2m, fc-2m etc. where fc = the carrier frequency and m = the modulating frequency. Increasing modulation (frequency deviation) will change the level of each of the sideband pairs - and the carrier, which at times falls to zero.


If the frequency in AM does not change then how are these sidebands formed?

The process of changing the amplitude of the "carrier" so as to add information to it (modulation) doesn't change the frequency of the carrier. But it does create energy at two other newfrequencies.The new frequencies are equal to (carrier frequency) plus and minus (the modulating frequency). These are referred to as the upper and lower sidebands.The upper sideband is an exact copy of the modulating signal, but with every component of it shifted up by an amount equal to the carrier frequency. The lower sideband is a mirror image of the upper sideband, with every frequency component in it reflected about the carrier frequency.


What will happen if frequency of modulating signal is greater than the carrier signal in amplitude modulation?

Then the signal will be the same amplitude.


Two signals of 2GHz and 4GHz are frequency modulated on same carrier 10?

Definition: In FM technique, the frequency of the carrier signal changes according to the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating signal. Hence, the frequency of the modulating signal is of irrelevance here and the devition from "fc" will be dependent on the amplitude of the same. considering 2GHz and 4GHz to be digital signal the ratio would be 1:1.

What are three frequency components of an am wave?

The three frequency components of an amplitude modulation (AM) wave are the carrier frequency, the upper sideband frequency (carrier frequency + modulating frequency), and the lower sideband frequency (carrier frequency - modulating frequency). These components are responsible for carrying the signal information in an AM wave.

Is it true that information can be carried on a carrier wave by changing or modulating either the amplitude or frequency?

in frequency modulation, frequency of carrier signal changes. so frequency variations of carrier convey all the information in frequency modulation.

What is the wavelength of a carrier wave?

The wavelength of a carrier wave is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of the wave. It is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave, so higher frequency waves have shorter wavelengths. In telecommunications, carrier waves are used to transmit information by modulating their properties.
