signal processing

Demodulated refers to the process by which a demodulator extracts the original information signal from a modulated carrier wave. This process is essential in communications technology where signals are transmitted over distances. It allows the recovery of the baseband signal that was modified for transmission. The demodulation process can involve various techniques depending on the modulation scheme used, such as amplitude modulation (AM) or frequency modulation (FM). Effective demodulation is crucial for the clarity and quality of transmitted information.

Synonyms

decode, extract, recover

Examples of usage

  • The radio demodulated the incoming signal successfully.
  • The engineer demodulated the data for analysis.
  • A new technique was developed to demodulate high-frequency signals.
  • Demodulated audio signals can improve listening experiences.
  • The system can demodulate multiple channels simultaneously.

Etymology

The term 'demodulate' is derived from the prefix 'de-' meaning 'to reverse' and the root 'modulate', which originates from the Latin 'modulari,' meaning 'to measure'. The concept became prominent in the early 20th century as radio technology advanced. With the advent of telecommunications, the need to retrieve information from modulated signals became crucial. As modulation techniques evolved, especially during the World War II era, demodulation techniques also developed, leading to innovations in radio, radar, and later digital communications. Today, demodulation is a fundamental aspect of signal processing in various communication systems, including television, cell phones, and satellite communications.
