A signal that can include frequencies that are very near zero, by comparison with its highest frequency such as audio signals.
|
Baseband Signal
|
|
__________ is the process of varying a carrier signal in order to use that signal to convey information
|
Modulation
|
|
An interference between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as periodic variations in volume (audio) whose rate is the difference between the two frequencies.
|
Beat frequency
|
|
A frequency to which a carrier frequency is shifted as an intermediate step in transmission or reception.
|
Intermediate Frequency (IF)
|
|
To generate new frequencies by mixing two or more signals in a nonlinear device such as a vacuum tube, transistor, or diode mixer.
|
Heterodyne
|
|
A nonlinear circuit or device that accepts as its input two different frequencies and presents at its output (a) a signal equal in frequency to the sum of the frequencies of the input signals, (b) a signal equal in frequency to the difference between the frequencies of the input signals, and, if they are not filtered out, (c) the original input frequencies.
