Modulation

PREVIOUS LESSON                                                                                                                       NEXT LESSON

How is information transmitted via an electromagnetic wave. The process is called modulation and in this video I demonstrate two familiar types - amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM)
 
This page from Academo has a great simulation of modulation
