Modulation
A technique for processing signals in which two waves are combined to produce a wave that possesses characteristics of both and can be decoded to separate these characteristics.
Information wave - the wave containing the signal you want to transmit.
Carrier wave - the wave that is modulated, and whose properties are constant and known to both the sender and receiver.
Guided waves - waves that are bound to a carrier wave’s frequency.

Modulation
Modulator - the device that imposes the information signal on the carrier signal at the transmission end.
Demodulator - separates the information from the carrier signal at the receiving end.
Modem - a device used to convert digital into analog signals and analog into digital signals.

Frequency Modulation
A method of modulation in which the frequency of the carrier signal is modified by the addition of the information signal.
Frequency shift keying (FSK) - when FM signals are converted into digital signals, the differing frequencies are conveyed as either 0s or 1s.

Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
The process of converting analog signals into digital signals
Sampling - the first step in converting analog signals to digital signals is to measure the amplitude of an analog signal at multiple instants.
The higher the sampling rate, the more closely the digital signal resembles the original analog signal.

Quantizing
To create a replica of the audio wave in digital format, each sample is converted into its binary equivalent in a process called quantizing.
One problem with quantizing is that it introduces noise. This occurs because a signal composed of quantized values is not as precise as the original analog signal, which is made of one continuous wave.
Companding - This process of compressing and expanding a signal.

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)
Frequency division multiplexing (FDM) - a method of sending multiple analog signals simultaneously over one channel by separating the channel into subchannels, or bands.
Guardband - a narrow range of unused frequency between each band’s frequency. It ensures that signals do not interfere with each other.

Switching
A method of establishing connections and sending information between nodes on a network.
Circuit switching - establishing a connection between two devices on a network, before they begin transmitting data.
The advantage of circuit switching is that it guarantees two devices exclusive use of a communications channel.

Switching Systems
The combined collection of hardware and software that establishes connections between lines and trunks in order to complete calls.
Although makes and models differ between manufacturers, all modern switches share four essential elements:
• Switching matrix • Line or trunk circuits • Central control computer • Common equipment

Local Switching Systems
A local switch performs the following functions:
Provides dial tone to a local subscriber Accepts and interprets signals (including off-hook
notification, dial tones, and so on) from the local subscriber Receives signals from the destination’s local switch about
when to terminate the call Records local subscriber billing information Stores information about subscribers (such as what type of
service they have chosen) in a subscriber database Tests and maintains the subscriber’s local loop

Tandem Switching
A tandem switch may perform the following functions: Provide termination for trunks at Class 1, 2, 3, and 4 central
offices Gather and transmit information about telephone network
traffic and congestion Determine the fastest path over the PSTN for long-distance
calls Carry data and voice signals between central offices Test and maintain trunks Assist in trunk configuration

The exchange of information between the components of a telephone network or system for the purposes of establishing, monitoring, or releasing phone circuits as well as controlling system operations.

Summary
Modulation is a signal-processing technique in which an information wave is imposed on (combined with) a carrier wave to create a unique wave pattern.
Common methods of multiplexing include frequency division multiplexing (FDM), time division multiplexing (TDM), statistical multiplexing, and wave division multiplexing (WDM).
Switching is a method of establishing connections and sending information between nodes on a network.
