As you can see in the figures above, the main practical difference between amplitude- and ring modula-
tion is the sideband amplitudes and the appearance of the carrier wave. Another difference is that the re-
sulting ring modulation wave phase-shifts 180 degrees every half modulator period.
If more complex waveforms are used for amplitude- or ring modulation, sidebands will be generated for
each partial of the signal.
