Modulation: The process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a separate signal that contains the information to be transmitted. This technique is used in telecommunication, radio, and data communication systems to transfer information effectively. Types of modulation include amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), and phase modulation (PM), each having unique properties that make them suitable for different types of data transmission.
