Abstract

Modulation is a technique that changes the characteristics of the carrier frequency in accordance with the input signal. Figure 1.1 shows the conceptual block diagram of a modern wireless communication system, where the modulation block is shown in the inset of the dotted block. As shown in the figure, modulation is performed at the transmit side and demodulation is performed at the receive side. This is the final stage of any radio communication system.
