I will answer this in the simplest way I know in the application I use it in; this would be in audio applications. Amplitude modulation is modulation of a carrier source's loudness; Frequency modulation is modulation of a carrier source's pitch; and Phase modulation is modulation of a carrier source's duty cycle/symmetry/timbre. One can often notice that all 3 modulation types relate in some way with another in that when frequency rises and falls it typically makes it favorable for either a rise in loudness or timbre. The most analog way to understand it in nature is typically your small vowel sounds like "iiiiiiiiiiiiii" as in the American-English word 'easy' and 'eeeeeeeeeeee' as in 'edge' are easier to say with loudness at higher pitches; medium vowel sounds like 'uuuuuuuuuuu' as in 'Utter' or 'sOn' and 'aaaaaaaaaaaa' as in 'Awe' *chuckles* are easier to say with loudness at medium pitches; large vowel sounds like 'ooooooooooo' as in 'Oh' and 'uuuuuuuuuuuu' as in 'rUne' are easier to say with loudness at lower pitches. AM is often known as 'tremolo'; FM is often known as 'vibrato'; PM is often known as 'wow'; AM/FM is 'vibremelo' and fill in the blanks for the other sub-variants. Maikel Stellerfield
amplitude modulation & frequency modulation
FM means frequency modulation AM means amplitude modulation
They could mean a lot of things, but in the context of each other they probably stand for Amplitude Modulation and Frequency Modulation (two different methods for sending an audio signal using radio waves) respectively.
A: AM radio is an Amplitude Modulation transmission . Meaning it has fix frequency but it is modulated by the signal. FM Frequency Modulation the frequency is modulated by the signal
Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM) AM tuning changes the amplification size of the waves being received, FM tuning controls the frequency of the waves being received. As commercial radio rose from it's early form, the AM 'band' stood for years as the only type of radio available. As technology improved, engineers discovered that they could modulate 2 channels of higher quality sound inside of one carrier frequency. The Federal Communications Commission designated from 87 MHz to 108 MHz for the new FM format. And, with this, FM radio was born.
Amplitude of the (high frequency) Carrier signal is varied with respect to low frequency of message signal is called amplitude modulation. Frequency of the carrier signal is varied with respect to low frequency of message signal is called frequency modulation.
AM - Amplitude Modulation FM - Frequency Modulation
Normal frequency range for amplitude modulation is 550kHz to 1610kHz
am is amplitude modulation, fm, frequency modulation
because noise usually changes the amplitude not frequency.
Frequency modulation have some advantages over amplitude modulation, FM is not sensitive to the amplitude noise, and have high efficient use of transmitted power
Amplitude Modulation (AM) Frequency Modulation (FM)
In frequency modulation (FM) the amplitude does not remain constant. Instead, the amplitude varies according to the modulation index and the frequency of the modulating signal. This is in contrast to amplitude modulation (AM), where the amplitude of the carrier signal is modulated while the frequency remains constant.

amplitude modulation & frequency modulation
amplitude modulation is where we modulate our signal with a carrier signal amplitude changes but frequency remains constant in amplitude modulation
AM = Amplitude Modulation. FM = Frequency Modulation
