8.3 Analog to Digital Conversion


It could be required to convert an analog signal to another analog signal.
This could be due to the need to transmit the original signal at a higher frequency.
Analog to analog conversion is a modulation technique which involves changing a characteristic of a carrier signal to integrate the analog data signal.
There are three types of analog to analog modulation as illustrated in Figure 8.6: Amplitude Modulation (AM), Frequency Modulation (FM) and Phase Modulation (PM).
