MCQ on Amplitude Modulation Pdf

Amplitude modulation : When amplitude of carrier wave is changed according to information signal is called amplitude modulation. e.g. All India Radio Mumbai (1044 KHz). Amplitude modulation is done by the electronic circuit called modulator. The amplitude of carrier modulator wave is not constant but it’s envelope has similar sinusoidal variations as that of the modulating signal.
