Modulation & Need For Modulation

This document provides an overview of modulation and the need for modulation in communication systems. It defines modulation as a process of changing one or more properties of an analog carrier signal in proportion to an information signal. The properties that can be changed include amplitude, frequency, and phase. Modulation is needed to radiate low frequency signals, reduce antenna height, increase communication range, improve reception quality, and allow multiplexing to reduce noise and interference. Multiplexing using modulation and different carrier frequencies allows different message signals to be transmitted simultaneously over the same channel.

Modulation
What is modulation?
• A process of changing one or more properties of the
analog carrier in proportion to the information signal.
• One of the characteristics of the carrier signal is
changed according to the variations of the modulating
signal.
 AM – amplitude, E
 FM – frequency , ω
 PM - phase , θ

Modulating signal
Need for modulation

• Radiate Low frequency Signals


• Reduction in Antenna Height
• Increases the Range of Communication
• Improves the quality of reception
• Multiplexing
• To reduce noise and interferences
Multiplexing

CHANNEL

• Modulation helps in transmitting different message signals using


different carrier frequencies simultaneously over a same channel.
This kind of multiplexing is called Frequency Division
Multiplexing (FDM). FDM further reduces noise and interference.
