Digital Modulation and Data Transmission Methods

Modulation is called the transaction by which certain characteristics of a wave called a carrier, be modified in light of another wave called modules, which contains information

The modulation process requires two signals, Modules and carriers, and as a result generates a third signal, called the modulated signal.

The carrier signal parameters that are affected by the information are: MODULATION

FSK
MODULATION DIGITAL-ANALOG

FSK (modulation frequency shift): It changes the carrier frequency depending

Linking

  • The linker is unaware of local variables that exist only within functions.
  • Local variables with the same name as global variables follow their local scope.

Symbol Types in Linking

Global Symbols

  • Symbols defined by module m (e.g., m.cpp) that can be referenced by other modules.
  • Includes non-static C functions and non-static global variables.

External Symbols

  • Global symbols referenced by module m but defined by some other module.
