Taajuusosion

Taajuusosion, also known as frequency modulation (FM), is a method of transmitting information by varying the frequency of a carrier wave in accordance with the information signal. This technique is widely used in radio broadcasting, television, and wireless communications due to its ability to reduce noise and improve signal quality.

In FM, the frequency of the carrier wave is modulated by the audio signal, resulting in a constant amplitude but varying frequency. This modulation process ensures that the signal remains robust against interference and noise, making it suitable for long-distance transmission. The receiver demodulates the signal by detecting the frequency variations and converting them back into the original audio signal.

FM has several advantages over amplitude modulation (AM). It provides better audio quality, especially in the presence of noise, and allows for the transmission of complex signals, such as music and voice. Additionally, FM signals can be multiplexed, enabling the simultaneous transmission of multiple channels within the same frequency band.

The concept of frequency modulation was first introduced by Edwin Howard Armstrong in the 1930s. Since then, FM has evolved significantly, with advancements in technology leading to improved modulation techniques and increased efficiency. Today, FM remains a fundamental technology in modern communication systems, ensuring reliable and high-quality transmission of audio and data signals.
