Modulation order — The modulation order of a digital communication scheme is determined by the number of the different symbols that can be transmitted using it. Modulation order can only be defined for digital modulations. The simplest forms of digital modulation… … Wikipedia
modulation — /moj euh lay sheuhn, mod yeuh /, n. 1. the act of modulating. 2. the state of being modulated. 3. Music. transition from one key to another. 4. Gram. a. the use of a particular distribution of stress or pitch in a construction, as the use of… … Universalium
Delta-sigma modulation — Delta sigma (ΔΣ; or sigma delta, ΣΔ) modulation is a method for encoding high resolution or analog signals into lower resolution digital signals. The conversion is done using error feedback, where the difference between the two signals is… … Wikipedia
Quadrature amplitude modulation — (QAM) (Pronounced IPA|kwa:m) is a modulation scheme which conveys data by changing ( modulating ) the amplitude of two carrier waves. These two waves, usually sinusoids, are out of phase with each other by 90° and are thus called quadrature… … Wikipedia
Pulse-density modulation — Pulse density modulation, or PDM, is a form of modulation used to represent an analog signal in the digital domain. In a PDM signal, specific amplitude values are not encoded into pulses as they would be in PCM. Instead it is the relative density … Wikipedia
Natural modulation — Natural Nat u*ral (?; 135), a. [OE. naturel, F. naturel, fr. L. naturalis, fr. natura. See {Nature}.] 1. Fixed or determined by nature; pertaining to the constitution of a thing; belonging to native character; according to nature; essential;… … The Collaborative International Dictionary of English
Self-phase modulation — (SPM) is a nonlinear optical effect of light matter interaction.An ultrashort pulse of light, when travelling in a medium, will induce a varying refractive index of the medium due to the optical Kerr effect. This variation in refractive index… … Wikipedia
