Modulation is the way information is transmitted via electromagnetic radiation, like radio, microwave and light. This video introduces the concept of modulation, and includes demonstrations of amplitude modulation (AM) and FM modulation(FM)

carrier waves should be called "reference" wave. Would've saved me a headache. The receiver figures out how the reference wave is changed "modulated" over time and works out the signal wave. This was the best vid and explanation I've found on the net. Thanks.

Modulation means to change. It’s not the message that’s modulated it’s the carrier wave in such a way that carries the message.
@homoevolutus
@homoevolutus 2 роки тому
A couple of reasons to modulate a higher frequency carrier wave would be to transmit the signal farther and also the antennas can be smaller. The higher the carrier frequency (the one you are modulating) the smaller the antenna can be. For example, a 1 MHz signal has a 1/2 wavelength (for dipole antenna) of 468 feet vs a 1GHz signal with a 1/2 wavelength of .468 feet (~14.3 cm). In his case the antenna is the size of light waves ... so, pretty small!

The superposition actually was used - to encode color on top of the luminance signal of television/video. The phase shift from the reference ("color burst") at the beginning of each video scan line was the tint/color, the amplitude of the added color frequency was the color intensity ;-) That's why old black and white televisions without a color frequency filter showed checkerboards and moirée patterns when receiving a color signal...

In AM or FM, the source signal (sound) contains both volume changes and frequency changes. I've never been clear how AM or FM encode for both. Amplitude changes are kind of obvious, but frequency changes? Not so much. Does this have to do with bandwidth? How do two frequencies get modulated? It can't be just the amplitude of the carrier, can it?
@troys6965
@troys6965 2 роки тому
If I understand correctly, in FM, the broadcast frequency is the center of a small frequency bandwidth. Within that bandwidth, the frequency (rate) of deviation of the center frequency corresponds to source frequency. The amount of frequency deviation from the center frequency corresponds to source amplitude. It helps to think of it in the frequency domain as well as the time domain.

@IllidanS4
@IllidanS4 Рік тому
Modulation is changing the property of one wave (the carrier wave) based on the *value* of another wave (the signal). The value of a wave as a function of time is the immediate displacement of the oscillator that produces the wave, but frequency or amplitude are properties of the whole wave, or at least a local region of it around a specific point in time. You don't need to "encode" properties of the function like the amplitude or frequency, you just encode the function itself, as variations in the amplitude or frequency of the resulting wave.

I was hit with some questions and this answered a whole lot of them. My last one is how advanced chips would you need to have in order for this to work. To me it seems like you need to do some math to undo the modulation and that sounds like it would need some kind of chip doing math to turn it back into what it originally was. Perhaps I underestimate the computing power of old first and second generation radios but I am looking for how that process works specifically

@harrysmbdgs
@harrysmbdgs 6 місяців тому
I came to ask my own question but this one really got me thinking! I may be wrong, but I believe the modulation is happening to the light output (voltage / frequency shifts), rather than the actual photons of light or the wavelength. Bear in mind that wavelengths of light are orders of magnitude shorter than audio / radio and shouldn’t be a factor when considering either of the modulation frequencies. Obviously more light means more photons, but my thinking is that the LED chip in the torch will naturally have its own combination of wavelengths being emitted, which the circuitry can’t control. I imagine this would vary slightly depending on the output power, ambient conditions, etc., but I don’t think a solar panel should be able to distinguish between these in such a manner. I think if our eyes were infinitely sensitive, we would be able to see the brightness of the light varying very slightly as the modulated signal is transmitted, in the same way many LEDs use PWM to effectively dim. If photons or the wavelengths of the torch light were being altered, the variation would be seen in the colour of the light, rather than the brightness. Again… I think! 😂
@surendranmk5306

What would you say when I told you that it is not amplitude modulation instead it is intensity modulation. C is all ways equal to frequency × wave length with any electro magnetic wave. Amplitude is strictly varying with frequency.

You did not specify the flashlight modulator is AM or FM ? If it is AM, Einstein's photon makes no sense, because it has no amplitude what so ever. And it already did not make any sense, because a wave without amplitude is not a wave, its just a straight line. So his photon particle-wave is a particle-line.
