    Modulation
Click For Summary
Modulation refers to the process of encoding information onto a carrier signal, primarily in radio communications. The two main types discussed are Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM), each with distinct methods of encoding signals. AM varies the amplitude of the carrier signal, while FM alters the frequency based on the information signal. The choice between AM and FM depends on factors such as signal quality, bandwidth requirements, and the nature of the transmission environment. Understanding these differences is crucial for selecting the appropriate modulation type for specific communication needs.

what is the meaning of modulation and what is types
can anyone explain that to me

and give me any book.

You need to give us a lot more information before we can tell what you're asking for. Where did you hear about "modulation"? Is it in reference to "amplitude modulation" or "frequency modulation", both of which describe ways information is encoded in radio waves?

at first i want to now what is the fm modulation and the am modulation and what is the difference between both and how can i choose the type of the modulation

and what is the value of the carier that must be used
 
Let's say the signal we want to transmit is s(t). AM modulation is the following:

s(t) A \sin(\omega t)

Here \sin(\omega t) is the carrier signal, \omega is its angular frequency, A is a constant, and t is time.

FM modulation is the following:

A \sin(B s(t) t)

B is a constant, and the other variables are the same as they were above.

I don't know the specifics of how these are used in radio.

how can i choose the type of modulation i mean depended on what?
 
Topic about reference frames, center of rotation, postion of origin etc Comoving ref. frame is frame that is attached to moving object, does that mean, in that frame translation and rotation of object is zero, because origin and axes(x,y,z) are fixed to object? Is it same if you place origin of frame at object center of mass or at object tail? What type of comoving frame exist? What is lab frame? If we talk about center of rotation do we always need to specified from what frame we observe?
