Concept Preview• Modulation is the process of adding information to
an RF signal.• The information signal controls the amplitude of
the RF signal when amplitude modulation is used.• The envelope of an AM signal has the same shape
as the information signal (oscilloscope display).• AM produces upper and lower sidebands.• A spectrum analyzer displays an AM signal’s
carrier and sidebands.

Oscillator
A high-frequency oscillator can launch a radio wave.
The process of adding information to the radio signal is called modulation.
High frequencies are often called radio frequencies.

Concept Preview• Information signal recovery is called detection.
AM receivers often use a diode detector.• Tuned amplifiers provide selectivity so that only
the desired station will be received.• Superheterodyne receivers use an intermediate
frequency (IF) before detection.• A local oscillator is mixed with the desired station
to convert it to the intermediate frequency.• An image frequency will also mix with the
oscillator and produce the intermediate frequency.• Selectivity before the mixer eliminates the image.

Concept Preview• With frequency modulation (FM), the information
signal controls the frequency of the carrier.• FM produces more sidebands than AM and thus
has greater bandwidth.• Noise and static can be removed from an FM
signal by clipping.• The carrier in an AM signal can be eliminated by
using a balanced modulator.• Single sideband AM also eliminates one of the
sidebands.

One way to accomplish this is to use a varicap diode in the oscillator tank circuit.
The audio signal changes thevaricap bias and the resonantfrequency of the tank circuit.

Noise is always a problem in any communication system. FM has an advantage over AM since it offers better noise rejection.

Noiseremoved
An FM receiver can use an amplitude limiter to remove noise. An AM receiver cannot since the modulation would be defeated.

Receiver troubleshooting
• Signal injection is standard practice.
• Both AF and RF signal generators may be required.
• Some receivers may require adjustments of their tuned circuits. This is called alignment.
