1)Lower frequencies, shorter range, smaller bandwidth.
2)More power required because, in amplitude modulation we are transmitting 3 frequencies i.e, carrier, lower side band and higher side band. the carrier have no any information but it required 2/3rd power.
3)The two side bands have same information so there is no need of transmitting the two side bands.
The limitation of amplitude modulation A̶̲̥̅̊rε̲̣̣̣̥
1 noisy reception:pratically all the natual Α̲̅πϑ man made noises consist of electrical amplitude disturbance
2:low efficiency:in an AM wave,useful power I̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊ in the sideband as d̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ contain the signal,e:g,if the modulation I̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊ 100%the sideband power I̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊ only one third of the total power of an AM wave
3 small operating range:due to low efficiency of AM transmitter employing this method have a small operating range I:e message can't be transmitted over larger distance
4lack of audio quality
as width of the pulses varies, noise interference is more
QAM is a combination of phase modulation & amplitude modulation.
the maximum amplitude of carrier wave varied with respect to instantaneous values of message signal is called amplitude modulation
AM imply amplitude modulation of a carrier signal
because noise usually changes the amplitude not frequency.
Pulse-Amplitude Modulation
amplitude modulation using collector modulator gives:More symmetrical envelope• Higher power efficiency• Higher output power• Need higher amplitude modulatingsignal
AM - Amplitude Modulation FM - Frequency Modulation
QAM is a combination of phase modulation & amplitude modulation.
In amplitude modulation, modulation depth refers to the ratio of the unmodulated carrier amplitude to the amplitude deviation for which the modulated carrier wave reaches its minimum value. If this minimum value is zero, the modulation depth is 100%.For amplitude modulation,modulation depth = (a-b)/(a+b),wherea is the unmodulated carrier amplitude, andb is the minimum amplitude deviation.The modulation depth ratio is also referred to as the modulation index.
amplitude modulation is where we modulate our signal with a carrier signal amplitude changes but frequency remains constant in amplitude modulation
Frequency modulation have some advantages over amplitude modulation, FM is not sensitive to the amplitude noise, and have high efficient use of transmitted power
Normal frequency range for amplitude modulation is 550kHz to 1610kHz
In amplitude modulation, modulation depth refers to the ratio of the unmodulated carrier amplitude to the amplitude deviation for which the modulated carrier wave reaches its minimum value. If this minimum value is zero, the modulation depth is 100%.For amplitude modulation,modulation depth = (a-b)/(a+b),wherea is the unmodulated carrier amplitude, andb is the minimum amplitude deviation.The modulation depth ratio is also referred to as the modulation index.
Amplitude modulations can be used to transmit binary data. Remember AM modulation is done using a single carrier frequency, and increasing or decreasing the amplitude. A high amplitude would be considered a '1', and a low amplitude would be considered a '0' (typically).
Amplitude modulation is a method of sending information by modifying the intensity of a carrier wave.
