hello,
An AM modulated signal is composed of an unmodulated carrier and two modulated sidebands.
I am struggling to understand how it works.
If I mix a 1KHz audio signal with an RF carrier, the carrier plus two 1KHz apart from it sidebands will occur. This is clear.
However if I have an unmodulated carrier and I manage to switch it on and off at 1KHz range, will two sidebands appear that are 1KHz apart from the carrier?
There is no mixing in the second case, just switching the carrier on/off.
