(i) Define modulation index.(ii) Why is the amplitude of modulating signal kept less than the amplitude of carrier wave?

Answer»

(i) Modulation index is a measure of  extent of modulation done on a carrier signal. In Amplitude modulation, it is defined as the ratio of the amplitude of modulating signal to that of the carrier signal.

\(m = \frac{A_m}{A_c}\)

(ii) Keeping the amplitude of modulating signal less than the amplitude of carrier wave helps one to reduce the distortions in the signal.
