Importance of Modulation in Communication System

Image
There is a huge importance of modulation in the communication system. It is defined as the modification process of the message signals in the communication system. In the modulation process, the message signal of very low frequencies is impressed. And, only the carrier signal of high frequency is passed through the transmission process.

It is one of the important techniques in which the addition of signal is done to an optical signal carrier or electronic wave carrier. It is very important as it uses the properties of a periodic waveform the most. It is used in communication just to pass the signal which bears information from one source to another destination.

Here, a transmitter is used which is normally present to modify the message signal. In this process, the message signal is modified in a suitable form and it is transmitted over various communication channels. This whole process of modification of message and carrier signals is termed as modulation.
The need for Modulation Pro…

Importance of External Environmental Analysis in Strategic Management

Image
External Environmental Analysis (EEA) is the analysis of the external environment which helps in analyzing the trends and activities of the industry in the marketplace. The processes of EEA are:
1. Scanning
2. Monitoring
3. Forecasting
4. Accessing
Micro and Macro factors in the Business Micro factors look at the specificity and macro factors look at the overall economy/business. Micro factors can be influenced because it is an assessment of the specific firm, and Macro factors are less influenced because it is external factors which are difficult to predict and understand. Therefore, micro factors are the factors of the specific firm such as the functional department, policies, procedures, laws, etc which can be influenced and changed when necessary. But, macro factors are external factors/segments such as demographics, political, legal, socio-cultural, technology, environment, legal issues that can be difficult to predict and influence.

Top 5 Advantages of Digital Communication System

Image
Good Reasons To Choose Digital Communication System 1. The digital communication system has high noise immunity. High noise immunity means the digital communication system is more immune to noise as compared to the analog communication system. In an analog communication system, the system has less noise immunity compared to a digital system. The noise produced in an analog communication system is very high compared to the digital communication system. Therefore, the digital communication system is preferred for better noise immunity.

2. It has many advantages in storing and processing various data and information. The data and information stored or retrieved in a digital communication system can be achieved in any format like audio or video, etc. But in an analog communication system, the information processed is hard to obtain in any desirable format. It can't achieve in the format demanded by the user. Therefore, the digital communication system is preferred for a better output…

How Johari Window Helps to Improve Self Awareness

Image
Four Segments of Johari Window The Johari Window was developed by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in late 1950s. They have developed this theory so as to make people self-aware of themselves. The Johari Window graph consists of four segments. They are termed as Arena (open area), Blindspot (blind area), Facade (hidden area) and Unknown. The arena is the area where your personality/attitudes are known by others as well as you yourself.

Blindspot or Blind Area is the area where you are unaware of yourself but known by others. Facade means you know yourself but others don't know you. It is also known as the hidden area. And, the last one is Unknown, which means you and others are not known to self and others.

If the Open Area is big that is good for an organization as you have such personality/ attitudes that are known to you and the surroundings around you.

Johari Window helps to improve self-awareness as well as understanding among individuals by the above four segments.

Pulse Code Modulation - Encoding, Quantization And Sampling

Image
The importance of Encoding, Quantization, and Sampling in Pulse Code Modulation There are mainly 3 basic operations that are carried out in pulse code modulation. They are encoding, sampling and quantization. Before knowing about the importance of encoding, quantization and sampling process in pulse code modulation, let us know a short description of pulse code modulation. It is a process in which a series of analog signals are converted into digital binary signals. This process is very useful in communication systems.

A whole pulse code modulation technique consists of encoding, quantization and sampling process. Therefore, these three operations (encoding, quantization, and sampling) play an important role in pulse code modulation.
3 Operations carried out in Pulse Code ModulationThe first step in pulse code modulation is sampling. It is very important in pulse code modulation as large varieties of analog signals are transmitted in a digital communication system in the form of bloc…
