Tele-vision- To see from a distance

The fundamental aim of a television system is to extend the sense of sight beyond its natural limits, along with the sound associated with the scene being televised.
In most television systems, as also in the C.C.I.R. 625 line monochrome system adopted by India, the picture signal is amplitude modulated and sound signal frequency modulated before transmission.
The carrier frequencies are suitably spaced and the modulated outputs radiated through a common antenna.
Thus each broadcasting station can have its own carrier frequency and the receiver can then be tuned to select any desired station. Figure 1 shows a simplified block representation of a TV transmitter and receiver.
