  2. Emphasis (telecommunications) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emphasis_(telecommunications)

    In telecommunications, de-emphasis is the complement of pre-emphasis, in the antinoise system called emphasis. De-emphasis is a system process designed to decrease, (within a band of frequencies), the magnitude of some (usually higher) frequencies with respect to the magnitude of other (usually lower) frequencies in order to improve the overall signal-to-noise ratio by minimizing the adverse ...

  3. High frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_frequency

    High frequency (HF) is the ITU designation [1] [2] for the band of radio waves with frequency between 3 and 30 megahertz (MHz). It is also known as the decameter band or decameter wave as its wavelengths range from one to ten decameters (ten to one hundred meters).

  4. Intermodulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermodulation

    The intermodulation between frequency components will form additional components at frequencies that are not just at harmonic frequencies (integer multiples) of either, like harmonic distortion, but also at the sum and difference frequencies of the original frequencies and at sums and differences of multiples of those frequencies.

  5. Sideband - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideband

    The power of an AM radio signal plotted against frequency. fc is the carrier frequency, fm is the maximum modulation frequency. In radio communications, a sideband is a band of frequencies higher than or lower than the carrier frequency, that are the result of the modulation process. The sidebands carry the information transmitted by the radio ...

  6. Bandwidth (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_(signal_processing)

    It may refer more specifically to two subcategories: Passband bandwidth is the difference between the upper and lower cutoff frequencies of, for example, a band-pass filter, a communication channel, or a signal spectrum. Baseband bandwidth is equal to the upper cutoff frequency of a low-pass filter or baseband signal, which includes a zero ...

  7. Frequency modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_modulation

    The frequencies may represent digits, such as '0' and '1'. FSK is widely used in computer modems such as fax modems, telephone caller ID systems, garage door openers, and other low-frequency transmissions. [1] Radioteletype also uses FSK. [2] Frequency modulation is widely used for FM radio broadcasting.

    High frequency [18] VHF: 0.03 to 0.3 GHz: Very high frequency [18] UHF: 0.3 to 1 GHz: Ultra-high frequency [18] L: 1 to 2 GHz: Long wave S: 2 to 4 GHz: Short wave C: 4 to 8 GHz: Compromise between S and X X: 8 to 12 GHz: Used in World War II for fire control, X for cross (as in crosshair). Exotic. [19] K u: 12 to 18 GHz: Kurz-under K: 18 to 27 ...

    Hence the information from a low-frequency analogue signal must be impressed into a higher-frequency signal (known as the carrier wave) before transmission. There are several different modulation schemes available to achieve this [two of the most basic being amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM)].
