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.

Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering Overview of this Lecture • Modulation • Need for modulation and Multiplexing 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 Modulation -Explanation
Information bearing signal
Message signal 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.
