  2. Amplitude modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude_modulation

    Amplitude modulation (AM) is a modulation technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting messages with a radio wave. In amplitude modulation, the amplitude (signal strength) of the wave is varied in proportion to that of the message signal, such as an audio signal .

  3. 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]

  4. Manchester code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_code

    Manchester coding is a special case of binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), where the data controls the phase of a square wave carrier whose frequency is the data rate. . Manchester code ensures frequent line voltage transitions, directly proportional to the clock rate; this helps clock

  5. Constellation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_diagram

    A constellation diagram is a representation of a signal modulated by a digital modulation scheme such as quadrature amplitude modulation or phase-shift keying. [1] It displays the signal as a two-dimensional xy-plane scatter diagram in the complex plane at symbol sampling instants.

  6. Quadrature amplitude modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Quadrature_amplitude_modulation

    Phase modulation (analog PM) and phase-shift keying (digital PSK) can be regarded as a special case of QAM, where the amplitude of the transmitted signal is a constant, but its phase varies. This can also be extended to frequency modulation (FM) and frequency-shift keying (FSK), for these can be regarded as a special case of phase modulation.

  7. Radio broadcasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_broadcasting

    AM stations were the earliest broadcasting stations to be developed. AM refers to amplitude modulation, a mode of broadcasting radio waves by varying the amplitude of the carrier signal in response to the amplitude of the signal to be transmitted. The medium-wave band is used worldwide for AM broadcasting.

  8. Phase modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_modulation

    A(t) represents the time-varying amplitude of the sinusoidal carrier wave and the cosine-term is the carrier at its angular frequency, and the instantaneous phase deviation (). This description directly provides the two major groups of modulation, amplitude modulation and angle modulation.

  9. Analog transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_transmission

    Analog transmission is a transmission method of conveying information using a continuous signal which varies in amplitude, phase, or some other property in proportion to that information. It could be the transfer of an analog signal, using an analog modulation method such as frequency modulation (FM) or amplitude modulation (AM), or no ...
