Modulation is the process in which some characteristics, usually an amplitude, frequency, or phase angle of a high-frequency carrier wave is varied in accordance with the instantaneous value of a low-frequency information signal called modulating signal.

Key Points:

  • A low-frequency wave cannot be transmitted to long distances. So, a low-frequency information signal is superimposed on a high-frequency wave, which acts as a carrier of the information.
  • A transmitter is a device that processes a message signal into a form suitable for transmission and then transmits it to the receiving end through a transmission medium.
  • A receiver is a device that recovers the original message signal from the signal received at the output of the communication channel.
