Explain the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and the Modulation

DSP

Definition - What does Digital Signal Processing (DSP) mean?

Techopedia explains Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

DSP is primarily used to detect errors, and to filter and compress analog signals in transit. It is a type of signal processing performed through a digital signal processor or a similarly capable device that can execute DSP specific processing algorithms. Typically, DSP first converts an analog signal into a digital signal and then applies signal processing techniques and algorithms. For example, when performed on audio signals, DSP helps reduce noise and distortion. Some of the applications of DSP include audio signal processing, digital image processing, speech recognition, biomedicine and more.

Modulation
Definition - What does Modulation mean?
Modulation is a process through which audio, video, image or text information is added to an electrical or optical carrier signal to be transmitted over a telecommunication or electronic medium. Modulation enables the transfer of information on an electrical signal to a receiving device that demodulates the signal to extract the blended information.

Techopedia explains Modulation
Modulation is primarily used in telecommunication technologies that require the transmission of data via electrical signals. It is considered the backbone of data communication because it enables the use of electrical and optical signals as information carriers. Modulation is achieved by altering the periodic waveform or the carrier. This includes carrying its amplitude, frequency and phase. Modulation has three different types:

•     Amplitude Modulation (AM): Amplitude of the carrier is modulated.
•     Frequency Modulation (FM): Frequency of the carrier is modulated.
•     Phase Modulation (PM): Phase of the carrier is modulated.

A modem is a common example/implementation of a modulation technique in which the data is modulated with electrical signals and transmitted over telephone lines. It is later demodulated to receive the data.
