Amplitude modulation am is a modulation technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting information via a radio carrier wave. Overmodulated am signals and its requirement for coherent detection are also considered. As seen in the animation, the higher order sidebands are necessary to keep the amplitude of the resultant phasor in red constant and thus produce pure phase modulation.
