Modulation is the process of "impressing intelligence into a transmission medium". In simple terms, its how we can send data via wire (Cable TV or Telephone), electromagnetic waves (radio) or light (LASER or fiberoptic systems).This book answers many questions about the science behind AM and FM communications. Explained clearly are the differences between AM and FM systems, as well as using coherent lightSimple language lessons are included on construction and function of m...

Digital Signal Processing, Second Edition enables electrical engineers and technicians in the fields of biomedical, computer, and electronics engineering to master the essential fundamentals of DSP principles and practice. Many instructive worked examples are used to illustrate the material, and the use of mathematics is minimized for easier grasp of concepts.
