Analog communication forms the backbone of early and modern communication systems, enabling the efficient transmission of voice, video, and radio signals. Understanding analog modulation techniques like AM and FM is essential for grasping how real-world signals are processed and transmitted over long distances. It lays a strong foundation for advanced topics like digital and wireless communication.
