Abstract
The processes of signal modulation are quite usual in our natural environment. For example, when we looking at an object illuminated by Sun, we percept the visual signal resulting from modulation of the sunlight (carrier) by the spatio-temporal distribution of the light-reflection coefficient of the object (modulating signal). Our visual information mainly is provided by the modulated signals of this type. Besides, we can see objects directly radiating modulated visible electromagnetic waves. Most of the perceptible sound signals are the modulated acoustical waves.
