  2. Product detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_detector

    A product detector is a type of demodulator used for AM and SSB signals. Rather than converting the envelope of the signal into the decoded waveform like an envelope detector, the product detector takes the product of the modulated signal and a local oscillator, hence the name.

  3. Amplitude modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude_modulation

    Amplitude modulation (AM) is a modulation technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting messages with a radio wave. In amplitude modulation, the amplitude (signal strength) of the wave is varied in proportion to that of the message signal, such as an audio signal .

  4. Vintage amateur radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vintage_amateur_radio

    Amplitude modulation (AM) was once the main voice mode in amateur radio before being superseded by Single-sideband modulation (SSB). But AM has recently become a nostalgic specialty interest on the shortwave ham bands. [5] A number of AMers operate vintage vacuum tube transmitters in conjunction with separate receivers. Some operators have even ...

  5. Radio transmitter design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_transmitter_design

    When modulation is applied to the plate of the final tube, a large audio amplifier is needed for the modulation stage, equal to 1/2 of the DC input power of the modulated stage. Traditionally the modulation is applied using a large audio transformer. However many different circuits have been used for high level AM modulation. See Amplitude ...

  6. Talk:Ring modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ring_modulation

    These days, likely implemented as a single IC, such as the MC1496. The actual reason to ask, is that I thought about starting the Modulator article with the ring modulator. Needs to start somewhere! Gah4 22:29, 22 March 2023 (UTC) "A ring modulator is an electronic device for ring modulation." This is such a fascinating sentence.

  7. Ampliphase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampliphase

    Ampliphase is the brand name of an amplitude modulation system achieved by summing phase modulated carriers. This modulation and amplifier technology family was originally marketed by RCA for AM broadcast transmitters. The Ampliphase system was not developed by RCA, but by McClatchy Broadcasting in the mid-1930s.

  8. Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-sideband_suppressed...

    DSB-SC is basically an amplitude modulation wave without the carrier, therefore reducing power waste, giving it a 50% efficiency. This is an increase compared to normal AM transmission (DSB) that has a maximum efficiency of 33.333%, since 2/3 of the power is in the carrier which conveys no useful information and both sidebands containing identical copies of the same information.

  9. Modulation transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulation_transformer

    A modulation transformer is an audio-frequency transformer that forms a major part of most AM transmitters. The primary winding of a modulation transformer is fed by an audio amplifier that has about 1/2 of the rated input power of the transmitter's final amplifier stage.
