Basic Modulation Principles by Irving Gottlieb

by Irving M. Gottlieb

Without basic foundations in the world of electronics, you're headed for miscalculations, lost hours, and a long list of unanswered question. With that in mind, a foundation in modulation is something you'll definitely need.As the convenience of purchasing ready made equipment dilutes and stagnates the possibilities of learning how electronic devices really work, this simple, easy-to-read guide has arrived to offer helpful and useful insight into the electronic equipment we use today. Look inside Basic Modulation Principles and learn all about the basic ideas and implementation techniques of modulation and demodulation.With detailed descriptions and schematics, this book reveals everything from the nature of frequency modulation and spectra effects of modulating signals in AM to bessel functions and the basic building blocks of AM and FM transmitters. Whether you're a hobbyist or an electronics technician, this book will be a practical reference tot urn to, as it shuns the hyper-mathematical and simplistic extremes seen in many electronics books.The book is organized into four succinct parts, set-up to convey modulation in an understandable and logical fashion, these parts ModulationSingle-sideband, Double-sideband, and Vestigal-sideband ModulationFrequency and Phase ModulationDemodulationFollowing each chapter is an illustration gallery including graphs, schematics, and waveforms referred to in the text. Many illustrations have supporting captions that elaborate on and go deeper in to the topics or concepts being communicated by what is shown.About The Irving Gottlieb has a BS in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California. He has worked for, among others, Ampex, Lenkurt, Hewlett Packard, and also worked for Ames Research as a consultant. He has authored several books and has had articles published in many periodicals, some of which include CQ, QST, 73 Electronics Industries, Popular Electronics, and Ham Radio, This is his third book for Prompt.
