Introduction
FM synthesis is a very efficient, though not always easily
controlled technique for generating interesting sounds. A
small number of parameters can be varied to produce a wide
range of sound timbres. In general, FM parameter matching
for systematic reconstruction of an arbitrary musical
instrument tone has remained an open question. However, a
number of ad hoc techniques have been introduced and will
be re-viewed here.
The power of
communication
Radio reception relies on antennas for the collection of
electromagnetic fields carrying information, and receiver
elements for demodulation and retrieval of the transmitted
information. Here, we demonstrate an atom-based receiver
for AM and FM microwave communication with a 3 dB
bandwidth in the baseband of ~100 kHz that provides
optical circuit-free field pickup, multiband carrier capability,
and inherently high field sensitivity.
Frequency
Modulation
Edwin H. Armstrong, known as one of the founding
fathers of radio technology, invented the
superheterodyneradio receiver in 1918 and
frequency modulation (FM) in 1933 [1]. These two
concepts, along with his regenerative circuit
technique developed in 1912, formed the basis of
radio frequency electronics as we know it today.
FM
is a method ofradio broadcastingthat
usesfrequency modulation(FM) of the
radio broadcast carrier wave. Invented in
1933 by American engineerEdwin
Armstrong, wide-band FM is used
worldwide to transmithigh-fidelitysound
over broadcastradio
AM
isradio broadcastingusingamplitude
modulation(AM) transmissions. It was the first
method developed for making audio radio
transmissions, and is still used worldwide,
primarily formedium wave(also known as "AM
band") transmissions, but also on
thelongwaveandshortwave radiobands.
