Describe modulation.

Description should include

  • modulator
  • demodulator
  • modulation: amplitude, frequency, phase
  • Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs)
  • Silicon Controlled Switches (SCSs)
  • triode alternating current (TRIAC)
  • diode alternating current (DIAC). 

Process/Skill Questions:

  • How can pulse-width modulation be tested without an oscilloscope?
  • How can servomotors be controlled through modulation?
  • What is the difference between amplitude modulation and frequency modulation?
