State three important factors showing the need for translating a low frequency signal into a high frequency wave before transmission
How are side bands produced?
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.
