In full-carrier amplitude modulation the carrier's

  • A.Amplitude varies with the message
  • B.Frequency varies with the message
  • C.Phase varies with the message while its amplitude is held constant
  • D.Amplitude and frequency both vary in proportion to the message

Answer: A

Amplitude modulation varies the carrier amplitude in step with the message while its frequency and phase stay fixed, so the message appears as the envelope of the transmitted waveform. Varying the frequency instead gives frequency modulation, and varying the phase gives phase modulation; both are angle modulations and behave quite differently in bandwidth and in noise. Varying two parameters at once is not a standard scheme and would make demodulation ambiguous.
