Modulation Demodulation

Modulation/Demodulation is a Nonlinear Process where Two Sinusoids are Multiplied (F1 x F2). The Product of this Multiplication--in the Time Domain--is a wave whose Amplitude is: a(X) = a(F1) X a(F2). However, in the Frequency Domain there is an Addition and...

So What Is A Frequency Synthesizer? The answer to that is easy, it is a programable frequency multiplier, usually using digital logic integrated circuits. The synthesizer is arranged to multiply a reference frequency by a programable amount to achieve just about any...

Frequency Modulation

Frequency modulation (FM) is the encoding of information in a carrier wave by varying the instantaneous frequency of the wave. The technology is used in telecommunications, radio broadcasting, signal processing, and computing. In analog frequency modulation, such as...

Amplitude Modulation

  (1) The low level generation of AM (DSB + Carrier) and the progressive amplification of that RF signal with the final stage being a Linear RF amplifier--Class AB. In the case of the low level modulation approach, one could use either a 2 quadrant or 4 quadrant...
