In an amplitude-modulated wave, the ratio (usually expressed in percent) of the peak variation of the envelope from its reference value, to the reference value. Also known as index of modulation. In a frequency-modulated wave, the ratio of the actual frequency swing to the frequency swing required for 100% modulation. How to thank TFD for its existence?
