Mittemoduleeritud

Mittemoduleeritud is a term used in signal processing and telecommunications to describe a signal that has not undergone modulation. Modulation is a process where a carrier signal is altered to encode information. When a signal is not modulated, it means the original information-carrying signal is transmitted directly without being superimposed onto a higher-frequency carrier wave. This is often the case with baseband signals.

In some contexts, particularly in digital communications, the term can refer to signals that do not employ specific modulation schemes like amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), or phase modulation (PM). These unmodulated signals might be used for simpler forms of data transmission or as a baseline for comparison with modulated signals. The transmission of unmodulated signals can be limited in range and susceptible to interference compared to modulated signals, which are designed to overcome these challenges.

The decision to use a mittemoduleeritud signal depends heavily on the application's requirements, such as bandwidth, distance, and the complexity of the transmission system. While modulation adds complexity, it offers significant advantages in efficient and reliable communication over longer distances. Therefore, mittemoduleeritud signals are typically found in niche applications or as fundamental components within more complex modulated systems.
