SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the demodulation of voice in Amplitude Modulation (AM) radio. It highlights the necessity of using a carrier frequency for effective transmission, defined by the equation E = Ec(1 + msinwtm)sinwtc, where Ec represents the carrier signal and m is the modulation index. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of modulation for wireless communication and the ability to combine multiple channels within the same frequency band. A recommended resource for further understanding is the tutorial on AM radio receivers from Electronics Tutorials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Amplitude Modulation (AM) principles
  • Familiarity with carrier frequency concepts
  • Basic knowledge of radio frequency (RF) communication

Good Day,
Can some one tell me any reading about structure of voice?

Things I need to know (in AM radio) amplitude madulation of voice
and also demodulation of it.
When we demodulate it do we use some carrier frequency to so people can hear that?

Thanks

As far as i know we use some carrier frequency because u = λf (u speed λ wavelength and f frequency) so we need a high frequency (small wavelength) carrier to transfer the wave. Also, the equation of the carrier is E = Ec(1 + msinwtm)sinwtc, tmod = modulated , tc = carrier, w = 2πf and m = Emax/Ec.
 
I googled tutorial modulation AM, and got lots of hits. Here's a pretty good description of various AM demodulation techniques.

Modulation is used for the transfer of information for a number of reasons. A couple of the most important are to be able to use radio frequency transfer (modulate to RF frequencies so that you can communicate wirelessly with antennas), and to be able to combine many channels of information into the same communication channel (like how there are many radio channels available in the AM or FM bands all at the same time).
