Importance of High Percentage Modulation

importance of high percentage modulation

What is the Importance of High Percentage Modulation? It is important to use as high a percentage modulation as possible while ensuring that overmodulation does not occur. The sidebands contain the information and have maximum power at 100% modulation. For example, if 50% modulation were used, the sideband amplitudes are ¼ the carrier amplitude, and since power is proportional to E2, we have (¼)2, or 1/16 the carrier power. Thus, total sideband power is now 1/16 x 1 kW x 2, or 125 W. The actual transmitted intelligence is thus…

Percentage Modulation | Overmodulation

percentage modulation determination

It was determined that an increase in intelligence amplitude resulted in an AM signal with larger maximums and smaller minimums. It is helpful to have a mathematical relationship between the relative amplitude of the carrier and intelligence signals. The percentage modulation provides this, and it is a measure of the extent to which a carrier voltage is varied by intelligence. The percentage modulation is also referred to as modulation index or modulation factor, and they are symbolized by m. Figure 1 illustrates the two most common methods for determining percentage…
