1. This document discusses non-linear signal processing and provides an overview of amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), and their generation and demodulation.
2. It defines key concepts such as modulation, carrier signal, bandwidth, and modulation index. For AM, it describes how the amplitude of the carrier wave is varied by the modulating signal.
3. Methods for generating and demodulating AM signals include square law diode modulation, collector modulation, and envelope detectors. FM varies the instantaneous frequency of the carrier proportionally to the modulating signal.
