Time Modulation

Time Modulation
Updated 24 Jan. 2005

    In view of the multipath distortion experienced on the long distance circuits, time modulation has proven the most succesfull. The so-called CFVD arrangement, suggested by Callahan, Shore and Withacker, has been adopted by the commercial organisations operating the international radio facsimile circuits.
    Acceptable copy can be transmitted by this keying method if slow handling and a low order of keying speed is employed. Increasing knowledge of the radio propagation medium should provide the basis for increased handling speed with acceptable quality. The work of Dr. Hudec in Germany was a step in this direction.

    The Following documents are representative at the end of thirties of the time modulation applications.
