Study Notes
Modulation in Radio Transmission
- Modulation allows information to be transmitted over long distances without degradation or loss of signal strength.
Demodulation
- Demodulation is the process of removing the audio signal from the modulated wave at the radio receiver.
- It is necessary to retrieve the original audio signal from the modulated wave.
Limitations of Direct Audio Transmission
- It is not feasible to directly send an audio signal over the air for long distances because the signal will be weakened and distorted due to the characteristics of air as a medium.
Radio Transmission vs. Wired Transmission
- Wire is not used in radio transmission because it would limit the range and flexibility of communication.
- Radio transmission allows for wireless communication over long distances, making it a more practical and convenient option.
