WHAT DOES MODULATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Modulation

In electronics and telecommunications, modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a modulating signal that typically contains information to be transmitted. In telecommunications, modulation is the process of conveying a message signal, for example a digital bit stream or an analog audio signal, inside another signal that can be physically transmitted. Modulation of a sine waveform transforms a baseband message signal into a passband signal. A modulator is a device that performs modulation. A demodulator is a device that performs demodulation, the inverse of modulation. A modem can perform both operations. The aim of digital modulation is to transfer a digital bit stream over an analog bandpass channel, for example over the public switched telephone network, or over a limited radio frequency band. The aim of analog modulation is to transfer an analog baseband signal, for example an audio signal or TV signal, over an analog bandpass channel at a different frequency, for example over a limited radio frequency band or a cable TV network channel.

Definition of modulation in the English dictionary

The first definition of modulation in the dictionary is the act of modulating or the condition of being modulated. Other definition of modulation is the transition from one key to another. Modulation is also the grammatical expression of modality.
