The authors consider various anti-noise techniques in systems using digital signals, in particular QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) signals. To increase the noise immunity of a system, it is proposed to use amplitude modulation of many components (AMMС). The advantages of this approach are demonstrated. The principles of AMMС signal formation are explained. The frequency efficiency, energy efficiency, and information efficiency of such signals are theoretically calculated. Different types of digital modulation are compared, the data being presented as a table, and a conclusion is made about a possible practical implementation of the modulator for AMMC signal formation. Structural and functional diagrams of the modulator for AMMC implementation are proposed. The study formulates basic operating principles of such a device, which are used to propose a design option of the modulator. The paper describes particular aspects of creating the main units of the modulator. The authors investigate the characteristics of such a device, particularly the spectrum of the output signal. The obtained research results allow drawing a conclusion that the device complies with the formulated implementation principles of the declared modulation type. A general conclusion is made that the manufactured modulator is suitable for the AMMC. The device is proposed to be used in modern digital communication systems, such as mobile communication systems.
