Consider the following statements regarding modulation : 1. The communication systems, where a weak signal is transmitted by the use of a modulation is essential in carrier signal. 2. When the frequency of the high frequency signal is varied in accordance with the intensity of the low-frequency weak signal, the modulation is said to be frequency modulation. 3. The process of recovering original baseband signal from the modulated signal is called phase modulation. Which of the above statements are correct ?

When the frequency of the high frequency signal is varied in accordance with the intensity of the low-frequency weak signal, the modulation is said to be frequency modulation. 3. The process of recovering original baseband signal from the modulated signal is called phase modulation. Which of the above statements are correct ? Correct Answer 1 and 2 only
Modulation:
- Modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a separate signal called the modulation signal.
- The modulation signal contains information to be transmitted.
- For example, the modulation signal might be an audio signal representing sound from a microphone. The carrier is higher in frequency than the modulation signal. (Statement 1 is correct)
- Modulation techniques are commonly classified into continuous wave (CW) modulation and pulse (PU) modulation.
- While modulation takes place at the transmitting end of a communication system, an inverse operation called detection needs to be performed at the receiving end. (Statement 3 is incorrect)
- Detection aims at recovering the information-bearing signal from the received signal as close as possible.
Frequency Modulation:
The frequency of the carrier is varied according to the amplitude of the message signal or the intensity of light. (Statement 2 is correct)
This is explained with the help of the following diagram:
