Basics
Modulation types
Modulation
• Modulation is the process of varying one or more
parameters (amplitude or frequency or phase) of
carrier signal in accordance with the message signal.
Analog Modulation
Amplitude Modulation
• The amplitude of the carrier signal varies in
accordance with the message signal, and
other factors like phase and frequency remain
constant.
• This type of modulation requires more power
and greater bandwidth; filtering is very
difficult.
• Amplitude modulation is used in computer
modems, VHF aircraft radio, and in portable
two-way radio
Frequency Modulation
• The frequency of the carrier signal varies in
accordance with the message signal, and other
factors like phase and amplitude remain constant.
• Frequency modulation is used in different
applications like radar, radio and telemetry,
seismic prospecting and monitoring newborns for
seizures via EEG, etc.
• When noise occurs naturally in radio systems,
frequency modulation with sufficient bandwidth
provides an advantage in cancelling the noise.
Phase Modulation
• The phase of the carrier signal varies in
accordance with the message signal. When
the phase of the signal is changed, then it
affects the frequency.
• Phase modulation is used for transmitting
waves. It is an essential part of many digital
transmission coding schemes that underlie a
wide range of technologies like GSM, WiFi,
and satellite television.
Digital Modulation
• Digital modulation is the process of encoding
a digital information signal into the amplitude,
or phase, or frequency of the transmitted
signal.
