This is the process by which the biological information contained in the base sequence of DNA is made available to the cell

Assertion: The process of retrieval of information from the carrier wave at the reciever is termed as modulation. Reason: Repeater helps to modulate the signals.

Assertion : The information contained in our original low frequency baseband signal is to be translated into high or radio frequencies before transmission. Reason: For transmitting a signal, the antenna should have a size comparable to the wav elength of the signal.

A: Modulator is an essential component of a transmitter. R: Modulator superimposes a low frequency message signal on a high frequency carrier wave.

Briefly explain the three factors which justify the need of modulating low frequency signal into high frequencies.

Write two factors which justify the need of modulating a low frequnecy signal into high frequencies before transmission .

The efficient transmission of signals is achieved by superimposing electrical audio signals on a high frequency carrier wave (the process is known as modulation). When the amplitude of high frequency carrier wave is changed in accordance with the intensity of modulating signal, it is called amplitude modulation. The extent to which the amplitude of carrier wave is changed by the signal is described by modulation factor. It is given as m="Amplitude change of carrier wave"/"Amplitude of unmodulated carrier wave" Let a carrier wave is represented by V_c=V_c cos omega_ct Let the modulation factor be m, the maximum change in amplitude of carrier wave is mV_c So, modulating signal can be represented as v_m=mV_c cosomega_mt So, the amplitude of modulated wave is =V_c+mV_c cosomega_m t Using this value, the instantaneous voltage of modulated wave is E=V_c cos omega_c t+ (mV_c)/2 cos (omega_c+omega_m)t + (mV_c)/2 cos (omega_c-omega_m ) t The above wave contains three frequencies namely, f_c, f_c+f_m and f_c-f_m . The frequencies f_c+f_m and f_c-f_m are called side band frequencies , USB and LSB respectively. The fraction of total power carried by side band frequencies is
