So kiddo, you know how people talk to each other on the phone and they hear each other's voices? That's because their voices are turned into little sound waves that travel through the phone lines. One way to make sure that these sound waves don't get mixed up with other sound waves is to use something called incremental frequency keying.
Think of it this way: when you play with building blocks, you're putting them together to make a structure. Similarly, with incremental frequency keying, we take small bits of sound and put them together in a special way so that they make sense when they reach the person on the other end of the phone.
We do this by changing the way the sound waves look as they travel through the phone lines. This change is called modulation, and it helps us understand the different sounds that come out on the other end.
So, let's say you want to say "hello" to someone on the phone. The sound waves that make up "h" might be sent using one type of modulation, and then the sound waves for "e" might be sent using a different type of modulation. This keeps everything organized so the person on the other end of the phone can hear you clearly.
In conclusion, incremental frequency keying is a way that we use special types of modulation to make sure that people can hear each other clearly on the phone without any confusion. Cool, right?
