Maximum Amplitude Formula Elements

Variables
Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave
The Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave is the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position.
Symbol: Amax
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Amplitude of Carrier Signal
Amplitude of Carrier Signal is varied in accordance with the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating signal. The modulating signal is the signal that contains the information to be transmitted.
Symbol: Ac
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Modulation Index
Modulation Index states the level of modulation that a carrier wave undergoes.
Symbol: μ
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Maximum Amplitude?

Maximum Amplitude evaluator uses Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave = Amplitude of Carrier Signal*(1+Modulation Index^2) to evaluate the Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave, Maximum amplitude is the greatest amplitude of the modulating wave. It is the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. Maximum Amplitude of AM Wave is denoted by Amax symbol.
