A 'perfect' 100% modulated AM transmission carrying a sinewave should have 4.8 dB peak to mean, so what mechanism can account for 6.9dB ? This certainly does seem to reinforce the idea that the carri
Chaps. Modern broadcast transmitters can be set to reduce the carrier when there is no mod, to save power, or raise the carrier to preserve a silent background in the face of interference. As for com
This is different from what I would expect to happen. To start with, one takes a carrier or some power, then one modulates its amplitude. This process spreads some of the energy into the symetrical
