SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the effects of distortion, interference, and noise on AM (Amplitude Modulation) and FM (Frequency Modulation) modulation techniques. Participants express a need for explicit examples of how these factors impact each modulation type. While some resources were mentioned, such as CyberCollege and Wikipedia, they did not provide the detailed analysis sought by the users. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these effects for effective communication system design.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic knowledge of modulation techniques, specifically AM and FM.
  • Understanding of signal distortion and its implications in communication.
  • Familiarity with interference types and their effects on signal integrity.
  • Knowledge of noise sources in communication systems.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific effects of distortion on AM and FM modulation.
  • Explore techniques for mitigating interference in communication systems.
  • Study noise reduction methods applicable to AM and FM signals.
  • Investigate case studies demonstrating real-world impacts of these factors on modulation.
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, telecommunications professionals, and students studying communication systems who seek to understand the practical implications of distortion, interference, and noise on AM and FM modulation.

I have searched and read some sites concerning this topic but I did not find one that has explicit how each type of modulation is affected by distortion, interference and noise. So, could someone mention some?

For example, I read this site which has good information but not what I was looking for:

Physics news on Phys.org
Have you tried Wikipedia?
