[sdiy] AM and FM conventions

[Michael Boracci]

Friends,
I have a few questions regarding AM and FM.

I need to know what the standard is for determining if a signal( carrier )
is being FM'ed or AM'ed. Here are the examples.


F of carrier is modified by the A of the modulator.
F of carrier is modified by the F of the modulator.
A of carrier is modified by the A of the modulator.
A of carrier is modified by the F of the modulator.

These are the composite versions:
F and A of carrier are modified by the F and A of the modulator
respectively.
A and F of carrier are modified by the F and A of the modulator
respectively.


Out of these which one is actually FM and which is AM in synthesizer world?

FM and AM Radio are not these exactly ( I thought ), but what are they, and
do they relate to synthesizers at all?

Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks,
Michael
