Why Do We Need Modulation and Demodulation?
Why Do We Need Modulation and Demodulation?
Robert Thorne••6 min read
At the broadcasting station, modulation is done to transmit the audio signal over larger distances to a receiver. When the modulated wave is picked up by the radio receiver, it is necessary to recover the audio signal from it. This process is accomplished in the radio receiver and is called demodulation.
.
Similarly one may ask, why do we need demodulation?
So we must separate the higher carrier frequency. As the extra signals are mixed with message signal , it must be filtered. In the channel, it is also possible to add some noise to the modulated wave which should be rejected. That is why demodulation is needed.
why digital modulation is required? Digital modulation is used to transfer a digital bit stream over an analog channel at a high frequency. This enables us to transmit signals generated in a digital circuit across a physical medium. This is because digital signals can be handled with higher security and digital systems are readily and widely available.
In this way, what is meant by modulation and demodulation?
Modulation is the process of encoding information in a transmitted signal, while demodulation is the process of extracting information from the transmitted signal.
What are the advantages of modulation?
Advantages of ModulationAntenna size gets reduced. No signal mixing occurs. Communication range increases. Multiplexing of signals occur.
Demodulation is the process by which the original information bearing signal, i.e. the modulation is extracted from the incoming overall received signal. The process of demodulation for signals using amplitude modulation can be achieved in a number of different techniques, each of which has its own advantage.
Coherent demodulation is also called synchronous demodulation and it is suitable for all the demodulation of linear modulation signals. Coherent demodulation usually uses a multiplier to multiply the input a reference signal that is coherent with the carrier frequency and the carrier frequency.
