Modulation manipulates carrier waves to hold data

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

A radio wave by itself is utterly useless; it must be forced to carry luggage. Modulation is the process of slightly altering the properties of a constant carrier wave—like changing its amplitude, frequency, or phase—to represent zeroes and ones. The wave acts as a blank canvas, and the microscopic distortions are the actual hidden message traversing the airwaves.
