For transmission through a radiowave.
The process of separating the original information or SIGNAL from the MODULATED CARRIER. In the case of AMPLITUDE or FREQUENCY MODULATION it involves a device, called a demodulator or detector, which produces a signal corresponding to the instantaneous changes in amplitude or frequency, respectively. This signal corresponds to the original modulating signal
Iam pretty sure that baseband coax was 50 ohm and was used for networking computer, were broadband coax is 75 ohm and used in the cable tv industry. A baseband signal is the original signal before it is modulated onto a carrier, mulitplexed or mixed. A broadband signal contains many channels which have been modulated or multiplexed onto a common carrier. The significant difference is the bandwidth of each. The impedance of the cable which carries either of them is totally irrelevant to the definition.
In datacommunications this is a modulator/demodulator, commonly known as a modem. In electronics a digital to analog converter (DAC) chip is used to convert digital signals to analog and an analog to digital converter (ADC) chip to convert analog signals to digital. Some chips are available which include both ADC and DAC functionality. There are thousands of different types of DAC and ADC sytems and which one to use largely depends on how fast you want to do the conversion.
The FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) modulator circuit works by shifting the carrier, a sine wave of a given frequency, to another frequency back and forth as the input signal changes. On the receiving end, the demodulator works by detecting one or both of the frequencies, often with a band-pass filter, regenerating the input signal. You can also use a signal processor to convert the carrier from time domain to frequency domain with a fourier transform, and then pick off the signal that way.) The FSK method of modulating/demodulation is typically limited to low frequency signal rates, such as 300 bits per second. You can also modulate multiple input signals onto one carrier, but the workable signal rate of each goes down. (In one signalling example, six analog inputs were used to duty cycle modulate six 10 hertz pulse trains, which were then FSK modulated onto one carrier. The receiving end had six band-pass filters, and six converters back to the analog domain.) If you are going to modulate more than one signal, you need to pick the frequencies carefully, so that their harmonic spectra do not intersect, otherwise you could get cross-talk if there is distortion in the carrier.)
Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) are used in Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM) for various purposes, including frequency synthesis and demodulation. In FM, PLLs can effectively track the frequency variations of the modulated signal, enabling accurate demodulation by locking onto the instantaneous frequency. In AM, PLLs can help improve the signal quality and stability by maintaining a consistent carrier frequency, which is essential for effective signal recovery and minimizing distortion. Overall, PLLs enhance the performance and reliability of both AM and FM systems.
For transmission through a radiowave.
A terminal may transmit several application, at a time. All such data of that terminal is multiplexed, and this multiplexed signal is modulated onto a carrier.
A demodulator detects a modulated wave by separating the modulating signal from the carrier wave. This is done by reversing the modulation process applied to the carrier wave to extract the original signal that was modulated onto it. Different demodulation techniques are used depending on the modulation scheme employed.

In an analog phone, the mechanical energy of sound (speech) is picked up by a microphone (mic) and converted into an (analog) electrical signal. This signal is then put through whatever electronics stages are required (if any) to get the signal onto a phone pair for transmission to the receiver. In a digital cell phone, the mic picks up the sound and converts that into an analog electrical signal. That analog signal is then sent to an electrical stage called an analog-to-digital (A to D) converter. Once the signal is digitized, it can be treated as a data string and amplified and broadcast (to the cell hub) as such. An incoming call is a digital data string that is D to A converted in the phone and then the newly recovered analog signal is made to be heard by the user. The difference between the two is the conversion and re-conversion (analog to digital and digital to analog) in the digital cell phone.
Modulation is where an electronic signal (base) is combined with another electronic signal (carrier).The base could be audio, video or digital. The carrier is the frequency that a receiver (radio or television) is tuned to.The modulated wave is the result of this combination.
The frequency of the carrier of an analog signal can be anything you want it to be. Just be sure you notify the intended recipient of the frequency you're using to transmit, otherwise he won't be able to find your signal on his radio dial and receive your message.
Carrier Wave: A carrier wave is a high-frequency electromagnetic wave that is used as the "carrier" or the base signal in a modulation process. It is typically a pure sine wave with a constant frequency and amplitude. The carrier wave by itself does not carry any information; it serves as a vehicle to carry the information from one location to another. In AM and FM radio broadcasting, the carrier wave is the primary signal transmitted by the radio station. Modulated Wave: A modulated wave is the result of combining the carrier wave with an information signal, such as an audio signal or data. Modulation is the process of varying the characteristics of the carrier wave (either its amplitude or frequency) in accordance with the information signal. There are two common types of modulation: Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM). In AM, the amplitude of the carrier wave is varied in proportion to the amplitude of the information signal. This variation encodes the information onto the carrier wave. In FM, the frequency of the carrier wave is varied in proportion to the amplitude of the information signal. This variation encodes the information onto the carrier wave. The modulated wave contains the information that needs to be transmitted, and it can be demodulated at the receiving end to retrieve the original information.
Modulation is used when information is available in analog form that varies the frequency and/or amplitude of a lower frequency wave, depending on the information it carries. The role of modulation is to place this information onto a carrier frequency that can be transmitted more readily and with least loss of information. There are three fundamental types of modulation - frequency modulation, amplitude modulation and phase modulation. In each of these, a carrier frequency is modulated by a lower frequency, to form a modulated carrier wave. A modulator modulates the carrier frequency, while a demodulator detects the modulation on the carrier wave and recovers the original lower frequency waveform at the destination. For many years the modulated carrier wave was converted to a radio signal. Now it is often an electrical signal which is sent down a teleohone line; the information is usually a set of pulses going between computers. When computers are connected to each other in a two-way conversation, the MOdulator and DEModulator are combined into a single device called a MODEM.
Analog data transmissions occurs every time you log onto the internet using your pc, your modem, and your telephone line.
There is no modulation of a Digital Circuit.Modulation is placing information onto an analog circuit to transport thatinformation to a distant location to be decoded/demodulated.Having said that, you can modulate a digital signal in dozens of ways,(Modem) and you can also modulate an analog signal dozens of ways(AM Radio Station, CB Radio, Walkie Talkie, FM Rock Station).NoteWhat this question may really be asking about is something like:"What are the differences between using an analog signal and a digital signal when you want to encode some information for transmission?"so that has now been posted as a separate question.
The PNS (Pseudorandom Noise Sequence) generator produces a sequence of binary code using a specific algorithm. In an ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) modulator, the PNS generator can be used to encode the digital data into a pseudorandom pattern before being modulated onto the carrier signal. This helps improve the efficiency and security of data transmission by spreading the signal energy across a wider bandwidth and reducing vulnerability to interference.
