What Does AM Stand For?
AM stands for Amplitude Modulation
Amplitude Modulation (AM) is a technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting information via a radio carrier wave. It involves varying the strength (amplitude) of the carrier signal in proportion to the information signal being sent, such as audio or data. This method allows for the efficient broadcasting of sound and is widely utilized in AM radio broadcasting, where it enables the transmission of audio over long distances with relatively simple receiver designs.
