Modulation

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000769

The act of modifying a property of a carrier signal, such as its amplitude, frequency, or phase, in order to encode information for transmission. The original information, known as the modulating or baseband signal, is impressed upon the higher-frequency carrier wave. Demodulation is the reverse process performed by the receiver to extract the original information from the carrier signal.
