Abstract

An amplitude modulator having first and second differential amplifiers which are commonly supplied with an amplitude modulated carrier signal and a third differential amplifier which is connected to the emitter current path of the first differential amplifier, wherein the third differential amplifier is supplied with a video signal for modulation through a limiter and a current value of a current source connected to the third differential amplifier is adjusted to thereby adjust a modulation degree of an amplitude modulated video signal derived from the first and second differential amplifiers so that a white level of an input video signal can be positively prevented from being deteriorated.
