Using , the carrier amplitude is V; the carrier frequency is the mean of the side frequencies, kHz.
An AM wave produces two side frequencies placed symmetrically about the carrier at and . The carrier therefore lies exactly midway between them:
Each side frequency has amplitude , which can be rearranged to find the carrier amplitude.
Given depth of modulation , side frequencies 335 kHz and 337 kHz, and side-frequency amplitude 15 V:
