Hi to everyone. I have heard that we usually prefer to modulate signals at high frequencies so the wave length is small compared to the length of the antenna. Is there any rule or equation that implies this requirement?

I agree with u.. the antenna has nothing to do withthe modulation scheme. I was talking about modulation describing that we modulate signals in high frequenciesAveragesupernova said:Modulation has little to nothing to do with the antenna. The carrier frequency and the antenna are related as berkeman pointed out.
As Berkeman has implied, the antenna length of efficient radiating elements is not larger than the wavelength of the transmitted signal.dervast said:...wave length is small compared to the length of the antenna. Is there any rule or equation that implies this requirement?
Modulation in high frequencies refers to the process of changing or varying the properties of a high frequency signal, such as amplitude, frequency, or phase. This allows for the transmission of information through the airwaves.
Modulation is necessary because high frequency signals are easily attenuated and distorted as they travel through the air. By changing the properties of the signal, modulation makes it easier for the signal to be received and decoded accurately.
The most common types of modulation used in high frequency communication are amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), and phase modulation (PM). Other types include single-sideband modulation, quadrature amplitude modulation, and pulse modulation.
Antennas are essential for both transmitting and receiving high frequency signals. They are responsible for converting electrical signals into electromagnetic waves for transmission, and then converting received electromagnetic waves back into electrical signals for decoding.
The effectiveness of modulation in high frequency communication is affected by factors such as the distance between the transmitter and receiver, the strength of the signal, and the presence of interference or noise. The type and quality of the antennas used also play a significant role.
