MODULATION TECHNIQUES DEFINITION (continued): … modulation used in smoke signal transmission (the carrier being a steady stream of smoke). Morse code, invented for telegraphy and still used in amateur radio, uses a binary (two-state) digital code similar to the code used bymodern computers. For most of radio and telecommunication today, the carrier is alternating current ( AC) in a given range of frequencies. Common modulation methods include: |
