Modulate

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Modulate is a term used in various fields, including music, electronics, and biology. In general, it refers to the process of varying or adjusting the characteristics of something, such as a signal or a biological process.

Music[edit | edit source]

In music, modulation is the process of changing from one key (tonal center) to another. This may or may not be accompanied by a change in key signature. Modulations articulate or create the structure or form of many pieces, as well as add interest.

Electronics[edit | edit source]

In electronics, modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a modulating signal that typically contains information to be transmitted.

Biology[edit | edit source]

In biology, modulation can refer to the regulation or adjustment of a process or system. For example, the body can modulate the response of the immune system to prevent it from overreacting to a threat.
