1. Multiplexing
Simultaneous transmission of multiple messages over
a channel is known as Multiplexing.
If transmitted without modulation, different message
signals over a single channel may interfere because
their baseband (spectrum) is identical.
Different message signals can be transmitted over a
single channel without interference using modulation.

2. Practicability of Antennas
In broadcast systems, the maximum audio frequency transmitted from
a radio station is of the order of 5 kHz. If this signal were to be
transmitted without modulation, the height of the antenna needed for
an effective radiation would be half of the wavelength given as

It would be impracticable to construct and install such an antenna
The size of the antennas can be reduced by analog modulation
technique, as modulation provides frequency shifting or frequency
translation.

3. Narrow banding
Let us assume that base band signal in a broadcast
system is radiated directly with the frequency range
extending from 50 Hz to 10KHz, the ratio of highest to
lowest wavelength is 200. If an antenna is designed for
50Hz, it will be too long for 10KHz and vice versa, and
we may require a wide-band antenna which can operate
for band edge of 200, which is practically impossible.
However, suppose the audio signal is translated to
radio range frequency say 1MHz then ratio of lowest to
highest frequency will be

4. Common Processing
We may need to process a number of signals similar in
general character but occupying different spectral
ranges. As we go from signal to signal, we need to
adjust the frequency range of our processing apparatus
to correspond to the frequency range of the signal to
be processed. Processing apparatus can be operated in
certain fixed range and other frequencies can be
translated corresponding to this fixed frequency.

Bandwidth
The range of frequencies a signal occupies is
called the bandwidth of the signal. The
bandwidth is measured in terms of Hertz (Hz).
