Demodulation is like taking apart an action figure to see how all the pieces fit together. In this case, the action figure is a signal - it may be radio stations, TV, internet, etc. When this signal comes to your device (for example, a radio or TV), it will be in a very jumbled up form. Demodulation is the process of taking the signal apart so that it can be understood. It does this by taking each piece of the signal and rearranging it into something that can be read by your device. It's like taking apart a jigsaw puzzle and reassembling it into the image it is meant to be.
