Modulation is necessary for distance communication system. The main reasons for need
of modulation are,
• The antenna needed for transmitting signals should have size at least λ/4, where, λ
is the wavelength. The information signal, also known as aseand signal is of
low frequency !and therefore the wavelength is high". #f we need to transmit such
a signal directly, the size of the antenna will e very large and impossile to uild.$ence direct transmission is not practical.
• The radiated power y an antenna is inversely proportional to the square of the
wavelength. %o, if we use high frequency signals, the power radiated will e
increased.
• #f we transmit the aseand signals directly, the signals from different transmitters
will get mi&ed up and the information will e lost.
