This document discusses modulation and multiplexing techniques used in electronic communication systems. It describes how modulation encodes information onto carrier signals to allow transmission, with examples of amplitude modulation and frequency modulation. It also explains how multiplexing combines multiple signals into a single transmission medium using techniques like frequency division and time division. The document provides an overview of how these processes work at the transmitter and receiver to efficiently transmit and recover multiple signals over a shared channel.

Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Types of Electronic Communication system • One way (simplex) or two way (full duplex or half duplex) • The simplest way in which electronic communication is conducted is one-way communications, normally referred to as simplex communication Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • The bulk of electronic communication is two-way, or duplex communication. Typical • For example, people communicating with one another over the telephone can talk and listen simultaneously, • The form of two-way communication in which only one party transmits at a time is known as half duplex communication • The communication is two-way, but the direction alternates: the communicating parties take turns transmitting and receiving. Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Modulation and Multiplexing • Modulation and multiplexing are electronic techniques for transmitting information efficiently from one place to another. • Modulation makes the information signal more compatible with the medium, and multiplexing allows more than one signal to be transmitted concurrently over a single medium. Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Before it can be transmitted, the information or intelligence must be converted to an electronic signal compatible with the medium. • For example, a microphone changes voice signals (sound waves) into an analog voltage of varying frequency and amplitude. • A video camera generates an analog signal that represents the light variations along one scan line of the picture. Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • This analog signal is usually transmitted over a coaxial cable. • Binary data is generated by a keyboard attached to a computer. Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Modulation at transmitter Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Amplitude Modulation and Frequency Modulation Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Amplitude modulation is a modulation technique where the amplitude of a carrier varies depending on the information signal. • AM radio broadcast signals use lower carrier frequencies, which helps them travel long distances. • Sometimes AM signals can be able to bounce off the ionosphere. The distance travelled by the AM is much larger than the FM. Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Frequency Modulation • the carrier wave frequency is modified according to the signal that carries information. The radio signals have large bandwidth than AM radio signals, which helps to offer much better sound quality. Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques Amplitude Modulation (AM) Frequency Modulation (FM) The first successful audio transmission was Developed in 1930 by Edwin Armstrong, in the carried out in the mid-1870s United States The radio wave is called a carrier wave, and the The radio wave is called a carrier wave, but the frequency and phase remain the same amplitude and phase remain the same Has poor sound quality, but can transmit longer Has higher bandwidth with better sound quality distance The frequency range of AM radio varies from 535 The frequency range of FM is 88 to 108 MHz in to 1705 kHz the higher spectrum More susceptible to noise Less susceptible to noise Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Recovering the intelligence signal at the receiver. Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Multiplexing is the process of allowing two or more signals to share the same medium or channel; • There are three basic types of multiplexing: frequency division, time division, and code division. Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Multiplexing at the transmitter. Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Demultiplexing at the receiver. Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • The wavelength of a signal, which is represented by the Greek letter λ (lambda), is computed by dividing the speed of light by the frequency f of the wave in hertz: • λ 5 300,000,000/f. For example, the wavelength of a 4,000,000- Hz signal is λ 5 300,000,000 m/s /4,000,000 = 75 m Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Bandwidth (BW) is that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum occupied by a signal. It is also the frequency range over which a receiver or other electronic circuit operates. Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques Lesson 2, Modulation and Multiplexing Techniques • Standards are specifications and guidelines that companies, and individuals follow to ensure compatibility between transmitting and receiving equipment in communication systems. • Standards are detailed outlines of principles of operation, blueprints for construction, and methods of measurement that define communication equipment.
