Introduction
Communication Basics
Communication deals with the principle of transferring information from one place to another. It involves transmission and reception, and processing of information between these two locations. The source could be in continuous form as in the case of analog communication and as discrete signals as in the case of digital communication. Short distance transmission of information is called baseband transmission.
Communication Basics
For long distance transmission, information has to be impressed upon an high frequency component to be able to reach the reception end of communication. The high frequency component is termed as a carrier and the entire process is called modulation.
To enable transmission of a signal from several message sources simultaneously through a single channel employing frequency division multiplexing. To improve noise and interference immunity in transmission over a noise channel by expanding the bandwidth of the transmitted signal.
Frequency Translation
The modulation process shifts the modulating frequency to a higher frequency, which in turn depends on the carrier frequency, thus producing upper and lower sidebands. Hence, signals are upconverted from low frequencies to high frequencies and downconverted from high frequencies to low frequencies in the receiver. The process of converting a frequency or a band of frequencies to another location in the frequency spectrum is called frequency translation.

Types Of Modulation
Depending on whether the amplitude, frequency, or phase of the carrier is varied in accordance with the modulation signal, we classify the modulation as Amplitude modulation Frequency modulation Phase modulation. The method of converting information into pulse form and then transmitting it over a long distance is called pulse modulation.

Transmitter
The message as it arrives may not be suitable for direct transmission. It may be voice signal, music, picture, or data. The signals, which are not of electrical nature, have to be converted into electrical signals. This is the role of transmitter. Typical block diagram is illustrated below.
Receiver
A receiver is meant to receive the electromagnetic signal which carries the information. It is tuned to receive the required information at a predetermined frequency. The output of the receiver is usually fed into a transducer which converts the information into understandable signal.
Multiplexing
When it is required to transmit more signals on the same channel, baseband transmission fails, as in the case of audio signals being broadcast from different stations on the same channel. To encounter this problem either frequency division multiplexing or time division multiplexing is employed. This method of transmitting several channels simultaneously is known as frequency division multiplexing (FDM). In Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) several signals are transmitted over a time interval. Each signal is allotted a time slot and it gets repeated cyclically. The only difference compared to FDM is that the signals are to be sampled before sending.

Advantages:
Lesser power consumption. Conservation of bandwidth. Noise reduction. Less fading.
Disadvantages:
Requires complex receiver. At the receiver, coherent carrier has to be generated. In case of pilot carrier, at the receiver end it has to be boosted properly.

Angle Modulation
Introduction
Angle modulation includes both frequency and phase modulations. In Frequency Modulation(FM), the frequency of the carrier is changed with respect to amplitude of the message signal In phase modulation(PM), the phase of the carrier is changed with respect to amplitude of the message signal Unlike AM, both FM and PM are nonlinear, hence much more difficult to implement and analyze.

FM with <<1 is called narrowband FM Expression for narrow band FM: f(t) = Vc {cos ct - cos (c m) t + cos (c + m) t} Phasor diagram of narrowband FM:
Wideband FM
FM with > 10 is called wideband FM Expression for wideband FM: f(t) = Jo() cos c t J1(){ cos(c m) t cos(c m) t}+ J2 () { cos (c - 2m) t + cos (c + 2m) t} J3 () { cos (c - 3m) t cos (c - 3m t) } + ------ The function Jn() is called the Bessel function. The spectrum is composed of a carrier with an amplitude Jo () and a set of side bands spaced symmetrically on either side of the carrier at frequency separation of m, 2m, 3m --- and so on. Unlike AM, FM has an infinite number of side bands along with carrier. These side bands are separated from the carrier by fm, 2fm, 3fm ---------.

Pulse Modulation
Pulse Modulation
In analog pulse modulation, the carrier is a periodic pulse train The amplitude, position and width of the carrier pulse train are varied in a continuous manner in accordance with the corresponding sample value of message signal. Thus in Pulse modulation, information is transmitted basically in analog form, but the transmission takes place at discrete times.
Oxford University Press 2013
In the case of digital pulse modulation the message signal is represented in a form that is discrete in both time and amplitude The data is transmitted as a sequence of coded pulse. This type of modulation is also called pulse code modulation (PCM). PCM is the most widely used form in the field of Telecommunication. Digital Data transmission provides a higher level of noise immunity, more flexibility in the band width Power tradeoff possibility of providing more security to data and ease of implementation using large scale integrated circuits.

Multiplexing
When more than one application or connection share the capacity of one link it is called multiplexing. This results in better utilization of resources. A typical example is, many conversations over telephone line, trunk line, wireless channel, etc. A few examples of multiplexing are: TDM- Time division multiplexing FDM- Frequency division multiplexing WDM- Wavelength division multiplexing CDMA- Code division multiple access
