Step 1 :A1: Modulation techniques are used to represent information and transmit it over wireless channels with improved performance and robustness.
Step 2 :A2: The relationship between information frequency \(f_{m}\) and carrier signal frequency \(f_{c}\) is typically given by: \(f_c >> f_m\).
Step 3 :A3: Carrier signal: \(c(t) = A_c\cos(2\pi f_ct)\); AM: \(M_{AM}(t) = (A_c + m(t))\cos(2\pi f_ct)\); FM: \(M_{FM}(t) = A_c\cos(2\pi f_ct + k_fm\int m(\tau)d\tau)\)
Step 4 :A4: Sketch not possible with text; see resources such as lecture notes or textbooks for example diagrams.
Step 5 :A5: QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) combines two amplitude-modulated signals, with carriers in quadrature (90-degree phase shift), to transmit multiple bits per symbol.
Step 6 :A6: OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) is a technique that allocates subsets of OFDM subcarriers to multiple users simultaneously, enabling efficient and flexible use of the available frequency spectrum.
Step 7 :A7: \(x_1(t)\) and \(x_2(t)\) are orthogonal signals if their integral product over a period is zero: \(\int_{0}^{T} x_1(t)x_2(t)dt = \int_{0}^{T} cos(2\pi ft)sin(2\pi ft)dt = 0\)
