CONCLUSION*

I t&ere)ore concl$de t&at@ in t&is experiment@ by comparing t&e amplit$de signal )rom t&e original message@ (e can observe t&e )ormation o) envelopes (&ic& is a pair o) sine (ave above and belo( t&e carrier signal t&at gives t&e s&ape )or it. And@ (&en message signal's amplit$de is varied@ it also a))ects t&e amplit$de o) t&e carrier signal. T&ey vary directly proportional to eac& ot&er. T&e mod$lation index can be vie(ed )rom t&e oscilloscope display or can be meas$red t&ro$g& t&e minim$m and maxim$m val$es )or t&e mod$lated signal.
