`3.1 WHY MODULATE?
`
`
`
`Digital modulation is the process by which digital symbols are transformed into
`waveforms that are compatible with the characteristics of the channel. In the case
`0 of baseband modulation, these waveforms are pulses, but in the case of bandpass
`modulation the desired information signal modulates a sinusoid called a carrier
`wave, or simply a carrier; for radio transmission the carrier is converted to an
`electromagnetic (EM) field for propagation to the desired destination. One might
`ask why it is necessary to use a carrier for the radio transmission of baseband
`signals. The answer is as follows. The transmission of EM fields through space
`is accomplished with the use of antennas. To efficiently couple the transmitted
`EM energy into space, the dimensions of the antenna aperture should be at least
`as large as the wavelength being transmitted. Wavelength, A , is equal to c/f , where
`c, the speed of light, is 3 X 103 m/s. For a baseband signal with frequency f =
`3000 Hz, A = 105 m = 60 miles. To efficiently transmit a 3000-Hz signal through
`space without carrier-wave modulation, an antenna that spans at least 60 miles
`would be required. Even if we were willing to inefficiently transmit the EM energy
`with an antenna measuring one-tenth of a wavelength, we are faced with an im-
`possible antenna size. However, if the information to be transmitted is first mod-
`ulated on a higher frequency carrier, for example a 30-GHZ carrier, the equivalent
`antenna diameter is then less than % in. For this reason, carrier-wave or bandpass
`modulation is an essential step for all systems involving radio transmission.
`Bandpass modulation can provide other important benefits in signal trans-
`mission. If more than one signal utilizes a single channel, modulation may be used
