Study Notes
Radio Wave Transmission
- Radio waves are used to transmit intelligence, such as voice, video, or digital signals.
- Two key processes are required for successful transmission and reception: modulation and demodulation.
Modulation Process
- Baseband Signal: The original signal, such as voice, video, or digital data, is often called the baseband signal.
- Carrier Signal: A high-frequency sine wave is used as a carrier signal for transmission.
- Modulation: The process of impressing the baseband signal onto the carrier signal.
- Modulated Carrier Wave: The resulting wave after modulation.
- Transmitting Station: Modulation is performed at the transmitting station.
Demodulation Process
- Demodulation: The process of recovering the original signal from the modulated carrier wave.
- Receiving End: Demodulation is performed at the receiving end of the transmission.
- The Opposite of Modulation: Demodulation is the reverse of modulation.
