    Modulation
AI Thread 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?
 
Thread ''splain this hydrostatic paradox in tiny words'
This is (ostensibly) not a trick shot or video*. The scale was balanced before any blue water was added. 550mL of blue water was added to the left side. only 60mL of water needed to be added to the right side to re-balance the scale. Apparently, the scale will balance when the height of the two columns is equal. The left side of the scale only feels the weight of the column above the lower "tail" of the funnel (i.e. 60mL). So where does the weight of the remaining (550-60=) 490mL go...
Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...
Scalar and vector potentials in Coulomb gauge Assume Coulomb gauge so that $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A}=0.\tag{1}$$ The scalar potential ##\phi## is described by Poisson's equation $$\nabla^2 \phi = -\frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_0}\tag{2}$$ which has the instantaneous general solution given by $$\phi(\mathbf{r},t)=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\int \frac{\rho(\mathbf{r}',t)}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r}'|}d^3r'.\tag{3}$$ In Coulomb gauge the vector potential ##\mathbf{A}## is given by...
