Amplitude modulation (AM) 2. Double sideband-suppressed carrier (DSB-SC) 3. Single sideband (SSB) 4. Vestigial sideband (VSB) 7 Amplitude Modulation (AM) AM is formally defined as a process in which the amplitude of the carrier wave c(t) is varied about a mean value linearly with a message signal m(t).
