Basics of Modulation

Wave Equation of the Carrier

Can manipulate either the amplitude, or the

frequency or the phase to carry the information

Amplitude Modulation (AM): Change Amplitude of the Carrier Wave

Frequency Modulation (FM): Change Frequency of the Carrier Wave

Phase modulation (PM): Change Phase of the Carrier Wave
