AM modulated signal in the time domain:-

the demodulated signal : x ( t )= A c [ 1+ μCos ( 2 π f m t ) ]

the message signal is : m ( t )= A m cos(2 π f m t)

*The Carrier frequency : fc = 10 * fm = 8000Hz

a. Ac=16v, modulation index=0.22, modulating signal frequency=800Hz

t = 0:0.005:10 ;
Pi = 3.14 ;
fc = 8000 % The carrier frequency
fm = 800
Ac = 16 ;
m = 0.22 ; % The modulation index
S = Ac*(1 + m.*cos(2*Pi*fm*t)).*cos(2*Pi*fc*t);
plot(t,S)
envelope = abs(Ac*(1 + m.*cos(2*Pi*fm*t)));
plot (t, ,S,t,envelope,'g')

the previous output, there is no distortion because the modulation index is
less than unity.

b. Ac=16v, modulation index=1, modulating signal frequency=800Hz

When the modulation index is equal to 1 , there is no distortion .

c. Ac=16v, modulation index=1.85, modulating signal frequency=800Hz

 When the modulation index is greater than unity and due to that
distortion in the demodulated signal.
