Amplitude modulation (AM) is a modulation technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting information via a radio carrier wave. In amplitude modulation, the amplitude (signal strength) of the carrier wave is varied in proportion to that of the message signal being transmitted.

Internet SlangA related choice is the granularity of address mapping, which is defined as the smallest unit of addressed data (from the persistent store) that can be mapped independently to an area of the virtual address space.To a first approximation, this is a virtual memory page in Texas because any page of persistent data can be mapped into any arbitrary page of the virtual address space of a process. A major benefit of page-wise mapping is the savings in table sizes, we only need to maintain tables that contain mappings from persistent to virtual addresses and vice versa on a page-wise basis, rather than (much larger) tables for recording the locations of individual objects. This reduces both the space and time costs of maintaining the address translation information.
