Question
Define the term modulation. Draw a block diagram of a simple modulator for obtaining AM signal ?
Solution
Modulation is the process in which low frequency message signal is superimposed on high frequency carrier wave so that they can be transmitted over long distances.
The block diagram for a simple modulator for obtaining AM signal is shown below:
