Oscilloscope pattern and plate meter reading
resulting from carrier or "single tone"
modulation. The meter indicates

mode. Notice the peaks on
the oscilloscope pattern. They are sharp,
indicating a clean signal, and they will attain
a height greater than the "single tone"
pattern of Figure
3-5,
indicating maximum
power input.
