Scientific paper

Our analysis of the orbital modulation of V Sge, carried out in the intensity scale instead of the previously used magnitude scale, revealed that the full amplitude of the modulation remains almost constant as the intensity of the system rises from the low to the high state. The primary minimum remains very similar, as regards both its depth and width. The secondary minimum tends to slightly lag behind phase 0.5. The depth of the secondary minimum is subjected to the largest changes; it becomes almost as deep as the primary minimum during the high state while it is significantly more shallow than the primary one in the low state.
