CHAPTER 10
Amplitude Modulation Signals and Circuits
In this chapter, I will try to keep the math to a minimum, but it is inevitable that it will creep in to describe exactly what’s going on with amplitude-modulated (AM) signals. This chapter will cover some basics of amplitude modulation (AM). Actually, there are many types of amplitude modulated signals. In the standard broadcast or medium wave band from about 530 kHz to about 1.7 MHz, a carrier signal within that band is varied in strength. This variation in carrier strength makes the resulting signal an amplitude-modulated signal.
Other forms of amplitude modulation can be found in cell phones ...
