Semiconductor
• “In between” conductors and insulators
• Doping is the process of adding impurities to
the intrinsic material to alter its properties
• Doping creates N-type and P-type material
– N-type: excess electrons
– P-type: excess holes

PN Junction
• Diode – sandwich of N and P material
• Current flows in one direction
![Page 6: Technician Class Course - W4OVHw4ovh.net/.../2018/01/Technician-Class-Course-Session-4.pdf · 2018-01-30 · Adding Information - Modulation •Now that we know where we are in the](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042105/5e82ff4c3ff45d0d026456b9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Bipolar Transistor
• Sandwich of three layers (two junctions)
• NPN and PNP
• One junction (base-emitter) controls the current
through the entire device (collector-emitter)
• Amplification: a small current controls a large
current

Field Effect Transistor
• “channel” formed from one material
• A control “gate” formed form another material
• Voltage across the gate-channel connection controls
the flow of current in the channel
– Similar to controlling water flow by pinching a garden hose
• Amplification: a small voltage controls a large current
in the channel

MODULATION
![Page 11: Technician Class Course - W4OVHw4ovh.net/.../2018/01/Technician-Class-Course-Session-4.pdf · 2018-01-30 · Adding Information - Modulation •Now that we know where we are in the](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042105/5e82ff4c3ff45d0d026456b9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Adding Information - Modulation
• Now that we know where we are in the RF spectrum
and are sending a radio wave into space.
• When we imprint some information on the radio wave,
we modulate the wave.
– Turn the wave on and off
– Voice AM and FM
– Data (AM, FM, PM or combinations)
• Different modulation techniques are called modes.

Morse Code – On and Off
![Page 13: Technician Class Course - W4OVHw4ovh.net/.../2018/01/Technician-Class-Course-Session-4.pdf · 2018-01-30 · Adding Information - Modulation •Now that we know where we are in the](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042105/5e82ff4c3ff45d0d026456b9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
• In AM, the amplitude of
the carrier wave is
modified in step with the
waveform of the
information (voice).
![Page 14: Technician Class Course - W4OVHw4ovh.net/.../2018/01/Technician-Class-Course-Session-4.pdf · 2018-01-30 · Adding Information - Modulation •Now that we know where we are in the](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042105/5e82ff4c3ff45d0d026456b9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Characteristics of Voice - AM
• Sound waves that make
up your voice are a
complex mixture of
multiple frequencies.
• When this complex
mixture is embedded on a
carrier, two sidebands are
created that are mirror
images.
![Page 15: Technician Class Course - W4OVHw4ovh.net/.../2018/01/Technician-Class-Course-Session-4.pdf · 2018-01-30 · Adding Information - Modulation •Now that we know where we are in the](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042105/5e82ff4c3ff45d0d026456b9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Characteristics of Voice - AM
• AM signals consist of three
components:
– Carrier
– Lower sideband
– Upper sideband
• Voice bandwidth is from
300 Hz to 3 kHz.
• AM bandwidth is twice
the voice bandwidth.
![Page 16: Technician Class Course - W4OVHw4ovh.net/.../2018/01/Technician-Class-Course-Session-4.pdf · 2018-01-30 · Adding Information - Modulation •Now that we know where we are in the](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042105/5e82ff4c3ff45d0d026456b9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Single Sideband Modulation (SSB)
• Since AM voice is made
up of identical mirror
image sidebands:
• We can improve efficiency
of transmission by
transmitting only one
sideband and then
reconstruct the missing
sideband at the receiver.

Frequency Modulation (FM)
• Instead of varying amplitude, if
we vary the frequency in step with
the information waveform – FM is
produced.
• FM signals are much more
resistant to the effects of noise but
require more bandwidth.
• FM bandwidth (for voice) is
between 5 and 15 kHz.

Transmitting Data
• Data is made up of binary bits 1 and 0.
– On and off states
• Modems translate the data into a format capable
modulating a carrier wave.
• A terminal node controller (TNC) is a
specialized modem used in ham radio.
– There are many more kinds of modems developed
as data transmission technology advances.
