Working of Modulation
Data can be added to the carrier signal by varying its amplitude, frequency, and phase. Basically, modulation is applied to electromagnetic signals like radio waves, optics, and computer networks. It can also be applied to direct current that can be treated as a degenerate carrier wave with a fixed amplitude and frequency of 0 Hz by turning it off and on as in a digital current loop and in Morse code telegraphy.
What is Modulation?
Modulation can be digital or analog, the input wave of the analog signal varies continuously like a sine wave. Modulation can be defined as the process of converting data into waves by adding information to a carrier signal. Such a signal can be transmitted electronically or optically, but it must have a consistent waveform.
