Waveform Modulation

Waveform Modulation is a technique used to encode information onto a carrier wave, which is a continuous signal, typically in telecommunications. By varying certain properties of the wave—such as its amplitude (height), frequency (speed), or phase (position)—modulation allows data like audio, video, or digital signals to be transmitted more efficiently over distances. For example, in radio broadcasting, different songs can be sent over the same frequency by changing the way the wave looks, ensuring that your radio can pick up the correct signal. This method is crucial for effective communication in various technologies.
