In the Armstrong method, the audio signal and the radio frequency carrier signal are applied to the balanced modulator to generate a double sideband suppressed carrier signal. The phase of this output signal is then shifted 90 degrees with respect to the original carrier. The balanced modulator output can either lead or lag the carrier's phase.
As a mixer, its balanced operation cancels out many unwanted mixing products, resulting in a "cleaner" output. It is a generalized case of an early circuit first used by Howard Jones in 1963, [ 2 ] invented independently and greatly augmented by Barrie Gilbert in 1967. [ 3 ]
The expression suggests a quadrature phase detector can be made by summing the outputs of two multipliers. The quadrature signals may be formed with phase shift networks. Two common implementations for multipliers are the double balanced diode mixer, diode ring and the four-quadrant multiplier, Gilbert cell.
A block diagram representation of a differential encoder. Note that the output is dependent on both the current and previous register state. Another type of differential decoder. A method illustrated above can deal with a data stream inversion (it is called 180° ambiguity).
Block diagram. The NE612 is an integrated circuit for processing of signals, such as in the transmission of radio signals. It consists of a oscillator and a mixer. [1] It can handle signal frequencies of up to 500 MHz and local oscillator frequencies of up to 200 MHz.
A radio transmitter design has to meet certain requirements. These include the frequency of operation, the type of modulation, the stability and purity of the resulting signal, the efficiency of power use, and the power level required to meet the system design objectives. [1]
A block diagram of the direct conversion receiver. The conversion of the modulated signal to baseband is done in a single frequency conversion. This avoids the complexity of the superheterodyne's two (or more) frequency conversions, IF stage(s), and image rejection issues.
Balanced line actively driven with an asymmetrical signal, but connected to balanced impedances. There are a number of ways that a balanced line can be driven and the signal detected. In all methods, for the continued benefit of good noise immunity, it is essential that the driving and receiving circuit maintain the impedance balance of the line.
