Is there a program to display what modulation looks like?
One my coworkers is interested in getting a license. I gave him a copy
of the ARRL technician book and am looking around for local classes he can take. But while reading the book he can across something he doesn't understand - SSB vs AM vs FM modulation. I have to agree with him that the diagrams in the books aren't very clearly explained (though the ones in the General class book are better than the ones in the Technician book). So here's my question: is there a Windows application or web app that will display a carrier and its sidebands, along with the modulation, in a useful way? It doesn't have to take arbitrary audio input - a sine wave, a DTMF tone, a slowly rising tone, and a small voice sample would be enough. It should show something like an oscilloscope plus something like a spectrum waterfall. Does such a thing exist, perhaps as a Flash application? -- Jack Hamilton California -- Qui vit sans folie n'est pas si sage qu'il croit. François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld |

Here is a list of several Java Applets which are doing what you are looking for: http://users.pandora.be/educypedia/e...modulation.htm Some broken links, but for all three, AM, FM and SSB there are very nicely working applets. Hint: The above link was the first Google hit for the search term "modulation java applet FM AM SSB". 73, -- Fabian Kurz, DJ1YFK * Dresden, Germany * http://fkurz.net/ |

Very nice illustrations of SSB, AM, and FM at URL:

The best way to gain understanding in the different modulation techniques is
to view active signal with both an oscilloscope (time-domain) and a spectrum analyzer (frequency domain. By varying the crucial parameters (AM depth and so forth), you can get a really good feel for how the CW signal is altered when you change them. Wayne- (KC8UIO) "Jack Hamilton" wrote in message ...
