# Lesson 29 — AM Bandwidth and Multiplexing

<p class="block-synopsis">Under-, full, and over-modulation; AM bandwidth; and frequency division multiplexing.</p>

**Objectives covered**

- **3.1** — I can determine the modulation index, output signal, and output signal bandwidth of an Amplitude Modulation (AM) system and assess whether the system is under-modulated, over-modulated, or fully modulated.
