Demodulation (Noun)
Meaning
(electronics) the reception of a signal by extracting it from the carrier wave.
Classification
Nouns denoting communicative processes and contents.
Examples
- The process of demodulation in electronic communication systems involves recovering the original signal from the modulated carrier wave.
- Demodulation is a crucial step in the receiver circuit of a radio system, allowing the original information to be extracted from the transmitted signal.
- In telecommunications, demodulation is often performed using a phase-locked loop to extract the original signal from the modulated carrier.
- The demodulation stage in an AM radio receiver uses an envelope detector to recover the original audio signal from the modulated carrier wave.
- The complexity of the demodulation process depends on the modulation scheme used, such as AM, FM, or QAM.
