# Amplitude modulation
> *Theorem*: a multiplication of two harmonic functions results in a sum of harmonics withh the sum and difference of the original frequencies. This is called *heterodyne*.
??? note "*Proof*:"
Will be added later.
For example if we have a harmonic signal $m: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ with $\omega, A \in \mathbb{R}$ given by
$$
m(t) = A \cos \omega t,
$$
for all $t \in \mathbb{R}$ and a harmonic carrier signal $c: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ with $\omega_c \in \mathbb{R}$ given by
$$
c(t) = \cos \omega_c t.
$$
for all $t \in \mathbb{R}$. Then the multiplication of both is given by
$$
m(t)c(t) = A \cos (\omega t) \cos (\omega_c t) = \frac{A}{2} \bigg(\cos t(\omega + \omega)c + \cos t(\omega - \omega_c) \bigg),
$$
obtaining heterodyne.
