The author is CEO of manufacturer Belar Electronics. The modulation monitor has a reputation as an obscure component in the RF chain, and there is truth behind the statement. For decades, engineers ...

Two things have been overlooked with phasing amplitude modulation. One is the importance of pulse modulation; the other is that logic gates can be used for analog signal processing. Both of these ...

Compared to the simple diode needed to demodulate AM radio signals, the detector circuits used for FM are slightly more complicated. Wrapping your head around phase detectors, ratio detectors, ...

An arbitrary waveform generator (Arb) can be seen as a reversed version of a real-time DSO. Both instrument categories share the same theoretical principles applied to sampled signals. There are, ...

A signal generator, a general-purpose piece of test equipment, performs numerous measurements for a variety of applications requiring electromagnetic wave signals as stimuli. Its roots trace back to ...

(1) An earlier magnetic disk encoding method that places clock bits onto the medium along with the data bits. It was superseded by MFM and RLL. FM radio was invented in the early 1930s by Edwin Howard ...
