Give reasons for the following:
The amplitude of modulating signal is kept less than the amplitude of carrier wave.

Answer

Comparable amplitude of both modulating signal and carrier wave causes distortion of signal and, hence, the amplitude of modulating signal is kept less than that of the carrier wave.
