This paper explores the role of modulation in telecommunications, where audio, video, image, or text information is embedded into carrier signals for efficient transmission. The study delves into three fundamental types of modulation - Amplitude Modulation (AM), Frequency Modulation (FM), and Phase Modulation (PM) - with a specific focus on the intricate details of AM. By employing MATLAB, a powerful language for technical computing, and its companion tool SIMULINK, a simulation and model-based design environment, this paper demonstrates an innovative approach to enhance communication systems. MATLAB's array-based computation and toolboxes for signal processing synergize seamlessly with SIMULINK's graphical programming capabilities, offering a comprehensive solution for modeling, simulating, and analyzing dynamic systems. The integration of these technologies not only facilitates the implementation of advanced modulation techniques but also enables systematic verification and validation, ultimately contributing to the evolution of robust communication infrastructures.
