Radio Communication System – Block Diagram and types

Radio Communication System – Block Diagram and types: Radio communication is very popular technique of communicating a message. The radio waves are electromagnetic waves produced due to escape of electrical energy into free space. They have a frequency range from a few hertz to gigahertz. They travel with a velocity of light i.e., 3 x …

Square Law Detector Circuit and Working Principle

Square Law Detector Circuit and Working Principle: The square law detector circuit is used for demodulating modu­lated signal of small amplitude (i.e., below 1 V) so that the oper­ating region may be restricted to the nonlinear portion of the V­-I characteristics of the device. Figure 22.48 shows the circuit of a square law detector. It …

What is Demodulation or Detection? – Need of demodulation

What is Demodulation or Detection? – Need of demodulation: Demodulation or detection is a process of recovering the original modulating signal (intelligence) from the modulated carrier wave i.e., the demodulation is a process reverse of the process of modulation. Need of demodulation: The wireless signals transmitted from a transmitter consist of RF carrier waves and …

Single Sideband Modulation (SSB)

Single Sideband Modulation (SSB): Single Sideband Modulation (SSB) can he obtained by passing the output of a carrier suppressor (product modulator) through filter circuits that are selective to transmit one sideband while suppressing the other. However, this method is suitable only for obtaining Single Sideband Modulation corresponding to low or moderate carrier frequencies. The other …
