Chapter 3 – Signalling with Electromagnetic Waves How Signals are Sent…

We know that analogue signals constantly change and digital signals have a value of 1 or 0.

Calculating Frequency ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Calculating Frequency Frequency = 1 / Period Period = 6.6 ms Amplitude = 4V Frequency = 1/6.6ms = 150Hz

What about complex signals ,[object Object],[object Object],This is made up of several different frequencies – see how a wave can be made up…

Draw these waves onto graph paper. Draw the combined waveform.
