Modulation

Voice signals are of low amplitude strength with low frequency (20 Hz to 20 KHz). To send the signal up to longer distance Modulation is required. Modulation is the process of varying the characteristics of high signal (carrier) in accordance with instantaneous value of low signal (Modulating signal). Depend on the Modulation: three types of Modulation schemes are introduced. 1) Amplitude Modulation 2) Frequency Modulation 3) Phase Modulation GSM works also on Modulation scheme (GMSK) used to modulate high carrier of 900 MHz signal by low carrier signal (human voice). WCDMA works on Modulation scheme (BPSK & QPSK) used to modulate high carrier of 900 MHz signal by low carrier signal (human voice).

WAVE LENGTH

Radio signals travel through space at the Speed of Light

C = 3 * 108 meters / second

Frequency (F) is the number of waves per second (unit: Hertz) Wavelength () (length of one wave) =

(distance traveled in one second) (waves in one second) = C / F

If frequency is 900MHZ then wavelength = 3 * 108 /2100* 106 = 0.143 meters
