    Q.  AM wave may be represented as E(t) cos ωct where E(t) is- Published on 13 Oct 15a. Envelope of the AM wave
b. Carrier signal
c. Amplitude of modulating signal
d. None of the above
ANSWER: Envelope of the AM wave
 
An AM wave may be represented by
s(t) =  [A+ x(t)] cos ωct
       =  E(t) cos ωct
Where x(t) is the modulating signal
 A is the amplitude of carrier wave
E(t) is the Envelope of the AM wave
The envelope consists of the modulating signal that may be recovered from AM signal using demodulation techniques.
