    Modulation (Week 8)

    Uploaded by

    Shane Vince
    Modulation is the process of adding information to radio waves for transmission purposes such as audio or data. There are five main forms of modulation used in aviation: 1) Keyed Modulation which interrupts the carrier wave, 2) Amplitude Modulation (AM) which varies the radio amplitude based on the audio amplitude, 3) Frequency Modulation (FM) which varies the radio frequency based on the audio amplitude, 4) Phase Modulation which varies the carrier phase, and 5) Pulse Modulation which is used for radar and data exchange systems.

    Modulation

    ATRN 214
    Modulation
    Modulation is the name given to
    the process of adding information
    to a radio wave or the formatting
    of radio waves for other purposes.

    The modulation of a radio


    frequency is generally associated
    with the transmission of audio
    information, although the
    transmission of data, including that
    in satellite navigation systems, and
    the determination of bearing in VOR,
    for example, require modulation for
    other purposes.
    Of the main forms of modulation, five have application in aviation:

    1. Keyed Modulation
    2. Amplitude Modulation (AM)
    3. Frequency Modulation (FM)
    4. Phase Modulation
    5. Pulse Modulation
    Keyed Modulation

    The simplest way to put information onto a carrier wave is to quite simply interrupt the
    wave to give short and long bursts of energy.
    Amplitude Modulation (AM)

    In AM the amplitude of the audio frequency (AF) modifies the amplitude of the radio
    frequency (RF)
    Amplitude Modulation (AM)

    As can be seen from the diagram above, positive amplitude in the AF gives an increase in
    amplitude in the RF and negative amplitude in the AF gives a decrease in amplitude in the
    RF.

    The process of combining a radio frequency with a current at audio frequencies is


    known as heterodyning.
    Frequency Modulation
    (FM)
    In FM the amplitude of the AF
    modifies the frequency of the RF.
    The frequency deviation is
    primarily dependent on the
    amplitude of the AF; the greater
    the amplitude the greater the
    frequency deviation.
    The frequency of the AF
    determines the rate of change of
    frequency within the modulated
    RF.
    Phase Modulation
    In phase modulation the phase of the
    carrier wave is modified by the input
    signal.
    Pulse Modulation

    Pulse modulation is used extensively in radar systems and for data exchange in
    communications systems.
