Amplitude modulation (AM)

A system of changing the voltage of a radio-frequency carrier to allow it to carry information.

The amplitude of the carrier is changed (modulated) by superimposing an information-carrying audio-frequency signal on it. The amplitude of the modulated carrier varies in the same way as the amplitude of the audio-frequency information wave.
