High-power modulation. In an AM transmitter amplitude modulation of the carrier by introducing the modulating signal into the anode circuit of the final amplifying stage. The power of the modulating signal thus approximates to that at the transmitter output. 5, record 2, English, - high%2Dpower%20modulation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Modulation is also identified as to level. High level modulation occurs when the modulating voltage is applied to the collector/plate circuit of the final power amplifier. With high level modulation, the final stage is operated class C and the preceding stages are also operated class C. The overall efficiency of such a transmitter is very high. A disadvantage of high level modulation is that comparatively high audio power is needed and several stages of voltage and power amplification may be required in the speech amplifier and modulator circuits. 4, record 2, English, - high%2Dpower%20modulation

Le cintre est, lui aussi, dans un tel cas, un ouvrage d'art. Sa stabilité sous le vent et sa résistance au flambement sont délicates à assurer.

The worst of these storms to affect New Zealand often occur in the second half of summer or in autumn. This is because sea surface temperatures remain high in autumn, allowing the tropical cyclones to retain intensity for longer as they travel away from the tropics, and the chance of encountering an outbreak of cold air surging up from the Antarctic increases as autumn progresses. 3, record 5, English, - outbreak%20of%20cold%20air
