उत्तर
Modulation is the process in which low frequency message signal is superimposed on high frequency carrier wave so that they can be transmitted over long distances.
The block diagram for a simple modulator for obtaining AM signal is shown below:

Due to economic reasons, only the upper sideband of an AM wave is transmitted, but at the receiving station, there is a facility for generating the carrier. Show that if a device is available which can multiply two signals, then it is possible to recover the modulating signal at the receiver station.
