What is modulation and demodulation? Different types of modulation methods ?

Modulation and Demodulation Modulation Audio or video waves received through transducers, known as signal webs, are difficult to transmit over long distances. High frequency carrier waves are used to transmit these signal waves over long distances as radio waves. The amplitude, frequency or phase of this carrier wave is changed according to the instantaneous value of the signal wave. Such changes are called modulation. In other words, mixing the signal with the carrier wave is called modulation. Modulation is mainly of two types, namely Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM). Use of Modulation: How far a real signal can be transmitted by a transmitter depends on two factors, namely -- (i) Transmitting Frequency (ii) Transmitter Power Modulation is used to send the signal farther. Different types of modulation methods: (1) Amplitude Modulation (AM) (ii) Frequency Modulation (FM) (iii) Pulse Modulation (PM) (iv) Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)  (v) Quadrature Amplitude ...
