In Chapter 3

• We studied the important characteristics of analog communication

systems.
• These characteristics included
1. time-domain and frequency-domain representations of the modulated
signal,
2. bandwidth requirements, and power content of the modulated signal and,
3. finally, modulator and demodulator implementation of various analog
communication systems.
• We will see, angle-modulation systems and particularly
FM, can provide a high degree of noise immunity, and
therefore are desirable in cases of severe noise and/or
low signal power.
• This noise immunity is obtained at the price of
sacrificing channel bandwidth because, the bandwidth
requirements of angle-modulation systems is
considerably higher than amplitude-modulation
systems.
