Essentially an amplitude modulated wave consists of a radio frequency carrier a sine wave at one frequency, typically in the radio frequency portion of the spectrum. In amplitude modulation, the amplitude signal strength of the carrier wave is varied in proportion to that of the message signal being transmitted. Amplitude modulation am is a modulation technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting information via a radio carrier wave. Operation of varying amplitude, frequency or phase of carrier signal accordingly with the instantaneous amplitude of the message signal is called modulation modulation adding information to a carrier signal.
