This is very old germanium diode and nomenclature comes before a standard had been established for semiconductors. They modeled 0A after the vaccum tubes where 0 - zero means 0Volts filament voltage and A meant single diode.

Latter , semiconductor nomenclature come where the first number was telling a number of PN junctions followed by N (this is for US), Japanese and Europeans had different naming standards

What is the difference between coherent demodulation and non coherent demodulation?

In case of coherent demodulation carrier used for demodulation purpose is in phase and frequency synchronism with carrier used for modulation purpose. For non-coherent demodulation it is not in synchronism.

What is the use of crystal detector in electronics?

A crystal detector is a diode, often used in non-powered radio receivers. It conducts at a much lower voltage than a typical silicon diode, making it easier to generate the signal amplitude required from the tuning circuit.

What is diode and define some of its applications?

a diode is any electronic device that conducts current significantly better in one direction than the other. it can be a vacuum tube diode, a gas filled tube diode, a point contact semiconductor diode, a junction semiconductor diode, any of several metal oxide diodes, etc.typical applications are:AC power rectifiersAmplitude modulated radio signal demodulators (detectors)Gas filled tube diodes used to be used in certain types of digital counters and computer registersDigital logic gatesSign detection circuits in analog computersVoltage clamps and clippersFrequency modulated radio amplitude limiters to remove static and interferenceetc.
