Sometimes we have to send low frequency information, like the tone of the voice of someone talking on a telephone, over a specific channel that only permits a specific high frequency, such as radio frequencies (RF). So how do we do that? One simple, cost effective, and bandwidth efficient method is to change, or modulate, a known RF signal a certain way. Some common ways of modulating such a high frequency signal are Amplitude Modulation and Frequency Modulation. Each of these modulation techniques has its own advantages and disadvantages and are therefore more useful in certain applications.

When modulation frequency is doubled the modulation index is halved and the modulating voltage remains constant the modulation system is?

the modulation system is of FM


When modulation frequency is doubled modulation index also doubled in case of FM or pm or am?

In Frequency Modulation (FM), if the modulation frequency is doubled, the modulation index does not necessarily double; it depends on the amplitude of the modulating signal. In Amplitude Modulation (AM), the modulation index is defined as the ratio of the peak amplitude of the modulating signal to the carrier amplitude, so it remains unchanged with varying modulation frequency. For Phase Modulation (PM), similar to FM, the modulation index is influenced by the amplitude of the modulating signal and does not inherently double with the modulation frequency. Thus, modulation frequency and modulation index are not directly linked in this way for FM, PM, or AM.


Need of modulation in communication?

Need for modulation: 1. Length of the antenna for a transmitter is inversly proportional to the frequency of the signal to be transmitted. So we try shift the frequency of the singal for the transmission to higher frequencies. 2. Every transmission of signal in a bandwidth is assigned with a particular frequency which is attained by modulating the signal with the carrier frequency. Different modulation techniques are implemented according to the requirements and compatibilities

Frequency modulation Phase modulation


How does quadrature amplitude modulation works?

Why do you need to do modulation?

In a radio system ... Modulation is applied to a carrier. If the carrier wasn't modulated it wouldn't carry any information other than that the transmitter was working. Not very useful. It is the modulation which contains the "information" which we want to send.


Why modualtion is need?

Without modulation, there's be no way to get any information onto a carrier signal. There are several different types of modulation schemes for radio carriers and almost as many different types demodulators to decode the information so that it can be converted into a usable form. For instance, AM (amplitude modulation), FM (frequency modulation), digital modulation, quadrature amplitude, etc.

What is the difference between frequency modulation and phase modulation?

The difference between frequency modulation and phase modulation is that with frequency modulation the angular frequency of the signal is modified while with the phase modulation, the phase angle of the signal is modified.
