Define Modulation in the context of communication systems.

Modulation is the process of combining a low-frequency message signal with a high-frequency carrier signal to produce a modulated signal. Signup and view all the answers

What is the difference between Baseband and Passband communication systems?

Baseband transmission sends the information signal as it is without modulation for short distances, while Passband transmission shifts the signal to a higher frequency with modulation for long-distance transmission. Signup and view all the answers

Explain the concept of Amplitude Modulation (AM).

Amplitude Modulation is a type of modulation where the amplitude of the carrier signal is varied in proportion to the waveform of the message signal. Signup and view all the answers
