Abstract

The transmission of audio frequencies (for example, speech and music) over a distance is usually performed by operating on one of the characteristics of a radio frequency wave. This wave, known as the carrier, will originally be sinusoidal with constant amplitude and frequency. It is these two characteristics which are affected by the modulation processes, as will be described in the chapter.
