Since the invention of radio communications, the objective of broadcasting is the conveyance of information to the listener. We term this conveyance of information, as it is attached to an RF signal, as “modulation.” There are many methods by which this information is carried to the listener, whether it be talk programming, music and other entertainment, or data streams. This webinar discusses how the information is carried to the listener over a modulated RF source. This includes the fundamentals of analog AM and FM transmission systems, digital modulation methods, and television of the past, present and future. It also touches on information transfer over radio-based STL systems and other ancillary data transmission within the broadcast domain. It looks at the fundamentals of these systems as well as touch upon how these systems are described mathematically. This presentation provides the basis of how our information makes it from source to the consumer of the information.
