Perception of amplitude and frequency modulated signals (mixed modulation)

Abstract:This article discusses the detection of mixed modulation, i.e., simultaneous amplitude and frequency modulation (MM). The investigations have incorporated both a sine wave modulating signal and an irregular modulating signal, a very narrow noise band, of a specified center frequency. The results revealed that for a sinusoidal low-frequency modulating signal, amplitude and frequency changes that were separately subthreshold could be detected by listeners in mixed modulation. This indicates summation of sensations caused by simultaneous AM and FM modulation. This effect was not observed in the case of the irregular modulating signal. A hypothesis is advanced that the perception of modulated signals is governed by two mechanisms, viz., temporal and spectral. The operation of the two mechanisms depends mainly on the modulating frequency. The type of modulation does not play any significant role in this case.
