AP Inter 2nd Year Physics Notes 16th Lesson Communication Systems
→ Communication is the process of sending and receiving the information by some device.
→ Attenuation is the decrease in signal strength due to energy losses as it travels.
→ Transducers converts energy from one form to another.
→ Band width is the frequency range of a modulated signal,
→ Transmitter is the part of communication system, which sends out the information.
→ The infrared radiation trapped by the atmosphere so as to keep the earth’s surface warm is called green house effect.
→ Modulation is the process of combining low frequency audio signal with high frequency carrier wave.
→ Demodulation is the process of recovering the information from the modulated wave.
→ Ionosphere is the gaseous envelope surrounding the earth.
→ Radio waves travelling directly from transmitting station to the receiving station over the earth surface are called ground wave.
→ The waves which reach the receiving station from transmission station after reflection from ionosphere are called sky waves.
→ Remote sensing is a method to get information about the size, colour, nature and location of an object from a distance.
Formulae
→ Length of Hertz antenna l = \(\frac{\lambda}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2 v}\)
→ Length of marconi antenna l = \(\frac{\lambda}{4}=\frac{C}{4 v}\)
→ dT = \(\sqrt{2 \mathrm{Rh}_{\mathrm{T}}}=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{Rh}_{\mathrm{R}}}\)
→ Modulation index in Amplitude modulation (ma) = \(\frac{\mathrm{E}_{\max }-\mathrm{E}_{\min }}{\mathrm{E}_{\max }+\mathrm{E}_{\min }}\)
→ Band width nA.M = 2 × Frequency of modulated signal.
→ Modulation index in frequency modulation mf = \(\frac{f_{\max }-f_c}{f_m}=\frac{f_c-f_{\min }}{f_m}\)
→ Band width of F.M = 2n × Frequency of modulated signal.
