how radio carries sound
Controls
Presets
Radio hides a low-frequency message inside a high-frequency carrier. AM varies the carrier's amplitude with the message; FM varies its frequency. FM resists noise better, which is why music stations use it. Educational tool.

Carrier / message20 / 2
Modulation index0.70
Modulation depth70%
Governing equation
Reading this result: AM varies the carrier's amplitude with the 2 Hz message at 70% depth. The envelope stays positive, so a simple envelope detector recovers the message cleanly. The 20 Hz carrier is far above the message so the two separate at the receiver.
