Input transducer
The device that converts a physical signal from source to an electrical, mechanical or electromagnetic signal more suitable for communicating
Transmitter:
The device that sends the transduced signal
Transmission channel:
The physical medium on which the signal is carried
Receiver:
The device that recovers the transmitted signal from the channel
Output transducer
The device that converts the received signal back into a useful quantity
The purpose of a communication system
transmit information signals (baseband signals) through a communication channel
baseband
a signal that has a very narrow frequency range.
the band of frequencies representing the original signal as delivered by the input transducer
Example of baseband signal
the voice signal from a microphone
The voice signal from a microphone contains frequencies in the range of
0-3000 Hz
modulation
a procedure that shifts the range of baseband frequencies to other frequency ranges suitable for transmission
demodulation
shift back to the original frequency range after reception.
AM radio system transmits electromagnetic waves with frequencies of
around a few hundred kHz (MF band)
The FM radio system must operate with frequencies in the range of
88-108 MHz (VHF band)
baseband signal contains frequencies in the audio frequency range
3 kHz
The transmitter block in any communications system contains the …………….. device
modulator
The receiver block in any communications system contains the ………………… device
demodulator
The modulator modulates a …………………………….
carrier wave
…………………….. is the process of impressing a low-frequency information signal (baseband signal )onto a higher frequency carrier signal
Modulation
……………………….is done to bring information signals up to the Radio Frequency (or higher) signal
Modulation
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
Amplitude modulation is the process of varying the amplitude of a carrier wave in proportion to the amplitude of a baseband signal. The frequency of the carrier remains constant
Frequency Modulation (FM)
Frequency modulation is the process of varying the frequency of a carrier wave in proportion to the amplitude of a baseband signal. The amplitude of the carrier remains constant
Types of analog modulation
Amplitude modulation(AM) Frequency modulation(FM) Phase Modulation (PM)
