Phrases 8
- amplitude modulationA method of sending information by modifying (modulating) the intensity (amplitude) of a carrier wave.
- frequency modulationThe use of a modulating wave to vary the instantaneous frequency of a carrier wave.
- phase modulationA method of sending information by modifying (modulating) the difference in phase (fraction of a wave length) between a signal and a reference.
- quadrature amplitude modulationA modulation scheme that conveys data by applying amplitude modulation to two carrier waves at once. These two waves, usually sinusoids, are out of phase with each other by 90° and are thus called quadrature carriers. Commonly abbreviated …
- pulse modulationAny of a number of techniques whereby a series of information-carrying quantities occurring at discrete instances of time is encoded into a corresponding series of electromagnetic carrier pulses.
- ring modulationA signal processing function in which two signals (typically a complex signal and a less complex carrier such as a sine wave) are combined to yield an output.
- wavelet modulationA method of modulating signals that uses wavelets to represent the data being transmitted.
- single-sideband modulationA modification of amplitude modulation that modulates the output signal on a single sideband only, as opposed to both sidebands.
