Amplitude Modulation Characteristics Calculators

Magnitude of Modulating Signal
​ Go Modulating Signal Magnitude = (Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave-Minimum Amplitude of AM Wave)/2
Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave
​ Go Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave = Amplitude of Carrier Signal*(1+Modulation Index^2)
Amplitude Sensitivity of Modulator
​ Go Amplitude Sensitivity of Modulator = 1/Amplitude of Carrier Signal
Bandwidth of AM wave
​ Go Bandwidth of AM Wave = 2*Maximum Frequency

Average Total Power of AM Wave Formula

Total Power = Carrier Power*(1+(Modulation Index^2)/2)
Pt = Pc*(1+(μ^2)/2)

What do we observe from the power relation of AM wave?

We can observe from the expression of AM wave that the carrier component of the amplitude modulated wave has the same amplitude as unmodulated carrier.
In addition to carrier component , the modulated wave consists of two sideband components. It means that the modulated wave contains more power than the unmodulated carrier.
However, since the amplitudes of two sidebands depend upon the modulation index, it may be anticipated that the total power of the amplitude modulated wave would depend upon the modulation index also. In this section, we shall find the power contents of the carrier and the sidebands.

How to Calculate Average Total Power of AM Wave?
