Block 5 Flashcards
Divided into 360 degrees
Sine Wave
of cycles occur in a second
Frequency
Physical Length; Used in determining antenna size
Wavelength
Continuous and variable electrical wave that represents an infinite #
Analog
Amount of signal strength
Greater height greater value
Amplitude
Audio Frequency Range
400Hz- 15000Hz
Radio Frequency range
20 kHz to 300 GHz
Constant amplitude and frequencies
Carrier wave
Lower frequency that contains info.
AKA Audio
Intelligence Wave
Process of combining 2 or more inputs in a nonlinear device
Heterodyning
Current through is not proportional to applied voltage
Non Linear Device
Process of which the amplitude or frequency of a carrier wave is varied in accordance with the intelligence wave
Modulation
4 Basic Req of Modulation
Reference signal
Modulating signal
Non linear device
Filter
Instantaneous amplitude of the carrier is varied according to the instantaneous amplitude/frequency of the intelligence
Amplitude Modulation
The frequencies or space the carrier and the significant side bands occupy in the frequency spectrum
Bandwidth
