Demodulation of Ordinary AM signal Amplitude (volt)
This process drags a bandpass signal back to baseband.

The easiest way of demodulation of ordinary AM is envelope detector. At the receiver, the modulated signal can be rectified to extract envelope

Demodulation of Ordinary AM signal If xAM(t) = [m(t) + A] cos(2 f t + ) then required condition for envelope detection is A | min {m(t)} | The same can be written in terms of modulation index. Modulation index
min m t A
The condition for envelope detection can be formulated as 1 When > 1, the carrier is said to be overmodulated resulting in envelope distortion.

Demodulation of DSB-SC AM Coherent demodulation is required for DSB-SC AM. This involves generation of the replica of carrier frequency at the receiver (note that ordinary AM receiver doesn t generate local carrier signal). The local replica of carrier at receiver must be phase coherent with the carrier generated at the transmitter.
Demodulation of DSB-SC AM A coherent receiver mixes the incoming signal with a locally generated carrier. Multiplying the received signal r(t) by the local carrier yields a signal with a baseband component plus a component at a frequency twice of carrier. Passing this signal through a low pass filter eliminates the high frequency component.

Demodulation of DSB-SC AM Mathematical representation The received signal is of the form

SSB AM can also be demodulated using the same technique.

Angle modulation Angle modulation is the process by which the phase angle of a carrier is varied according to the message signal. Angle modulation is sub-classified into frequency modulation (FM) and phase modulation (PM). In PM, the instantaneous phase deviation of the carrier is proportional to the message signal. In FM, the instantaneous frequency deviation of the carrier is proportional to the message signal.
