A square law demodulator is a device used to demodulate amplitude-modulated (AM) signals by exploiting the square-law characteristics of certain nonlinear components, such as diodes. In this process, the incoming AM signal is squared, resulting in a signal that contains both the original modulation and higher frequency components. After squaring, a low-pass filter is typically used to remove the unwanted higher frequencies, allowing the original audio or information signal to be recovered. This method is effective for demodulating AM signals, especially in simpler communication systems.

What is a demodulator?

The process of separating the original information or SIGNAL from the MODULATED CARRIER. In the case of AMPLITUDE or FREQUENCY MODULATION it involves a device, called a demodulator or detector, which produces a signal corresponding to the instantaneous changes in amplitude or frequency, respectively. This signal corresponds to the original modulating signal


Is there any special IC for amplitude modulation?

Why we use band pass filter in binary phase shift keying receiver or not low pass filter?

The bpsk receiver requires a particular band of frequencies to be passed to generate the required carrier which is further divided and then given to the demodulator. So the basic use of the bpf is to bandlimit the signal generated by the square law device and attenuate any dc levels otherwise. Lpf would simply allow all low frequencies to pass, which is not desired.


Converting digital computer signals to audible analog tones is known as?

Modulating. The word modem comes from Modulator/Demodulator


Discussion about amplitude demodulator?

A modulator modulates the carrier frequency, while a demodulator detects the modulation on the carrier wave and recovers the original lower frequency waveform at the destination. For many years the modulated carrier wave was converted to a radio signal. Now it is often an electrical signal which is sent down a teleohone line; the information is usually a set of pulses going between computers. When computers are connected to each other in a two-way conversation, the MOdulator and DEModulator are combined into a single device called a MODEM.
