Chapter 12 - Communications

Chapter Overview
Communications represents a large part of the electronics industry. This chapter introduces the basic ideas used in electronic communications. Once these basics are learned, it is easier to understand other applications such as television, two-way radio, telemetry, and digital data transmission.

Modulation is the fundamental process of electronic communication. It allows voice, pictures, and other information to be transferred from one point to another. The modulation process is reversed at the receiver to recover the information.

This chapter covers the basic theory and some of the circuits used in radio receivers and transmitters.
