PART-A
The process by which the base band signal modifies the carrier signal is
called modulation and resultant signal is called modulated signal.
At the receiving end ,the baseband signal and carrier signal are separated from
modulated signal by the process of demodulation.
Analog modulation
pulse modulation
Modulation index is the ratio of amplitude of the modulating signal and amplitude of
the carrier signals. It is also called modulation factor ,modulation coefficient or thr
degree of modulation.
For example ,if two buildings are separated by a public road ,you may not be able to
get permission to install cable over or under the road.Microwave links would be a good
choice in this type of situation.
1. What is an antenna?
make use of a receiving antenna and convert the electromagnetic signal back to
electrical signal.
The amplitude of the signal is varies continuously with time. This signal is called
carrier signal and vary some characteristics of the carrier signal like amplitude,
message signal.
Modulation can be broadly classified into two types based on the nature of carrier
signal.
1. Sinusoidal Modulation
2. Pulse Modulation
In sinusoidal modulation, the carrier signal used is a sine signal.
In amplitude modulation, the amplitude of the carrier is varied in accordance with the
whenever the message signal reaches minimum amplitude, the amplitude of the
to the instantaneous amplitude of the message signal. i.e. whenever the amplitude
the message signal is high, FM wave has higher frequency and whenever the
transmission of AM wave.
3.
Area of reception is large Area of reception is small.
4.
Noise cannot be easily Noise can be easily minimized.
minimized.
5.
The transmitter is the electronic unit that accepts the information signal to be
carrier frequencies that strike the receiving antenna at the same time.
There are three main characteristics by which the quality of a receiver can be
The scanning process in which the scanning electron beam sweeps across each
horizontal line in regular succession from top to bottom of the picture is called
Progressive Scanning.
Apogee is the farthest point on the orbit of a satellite from the earth.
Perigee is the nearest point on the orbit of a satellite from the earth.
20. Write briefly on principle of total internal reflection used in fiber optics.
When light waves travel from one medium to another medium of different
