  2. Frequency modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_modulation

    Frequency modulation and phase modulation are the two complementary principal methods of angle modulation; phase modulation is often used as an intermediate step to achieve frequency modulation. These methods contrast with amplitude modulation , in which the amplitude of the carrier wave varies, while the frequency and phase remain constant.

  3. Frequency mixer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_mixer

    Frequency mixer symbol. In electronics, a mixer, or frequency mixer, is an electrical circuit that creates new frequencies from two signals applied to it.In its most common application, two signals are applied to a mixer, and it produces new signals at the sum and difference of the original frequencies.

  4. FM broadcasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_broadcasting

    The use of pre-emphasis becomes a problem because many forms of contemporary music contain more high-frequency energy than the musical styles which prevailed at the birth of FM broadcasting. Pre-emphasizing these high-frequency sounds would cause excessive deviation of the FM carrier. Modulation control (limiter) devices are used to prevent this.

  5. Chirp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirp

    This type of modulation employs sinusoidal waveforms whose instantaneous frequency increases or decreases linearly over time. These waveforms are commonly referred to as linear chirps or simply chirps. Hence the rate at which their frequency changes is called the chirp rate. In binary chirp modulation, binary data is transmitted by mapping the ...

  6. Modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulation

    Categorization for signal modulation based on data and carrier types. In electronics and telecommunications, modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a separate signal called the modulation signal that typically contains information to be transmitted. [1]

  7. Superheterodyne receiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheterodyne_receiver

    The diagram has blocks that are common to superheterodyne receivers, [10] with only the RF amplifier being optional. Red parts are those that handle the incoming radio frequency (RF) signal; green are parts that operate at the intermediate frequency (IF), while blue parts operate at the modulation (audio) frequency. The dotted line indicates ...

  8. Pulse-frequency modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-frequency_modulation

    Pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) is a modulation method for representing an analog signal using only two levels (1 and 0). It is analogous to pulse-width modulation (PWM), in which the magnitude of an analog signal is encoded in the duty cycle of a square wave .

  9. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_frequency...

    This makes frequency domain equalization possible at the receiver, which is far simpler than the time-domain equalization used in conventional single-carrier modulation. In OFDM, the equalizer only has to multiply each detected subcarrier (each Fourier coefficient) in each OFDM symbol by a constant complex number , or a rarely changed value.
