    Meaning of Demodulator

    A demodulator is an electronic device or circuit that extracts the original information from a modulated signal.

    Definitions

    • A device or circuit that extracts the original information from a modulated signal, typically by removing the modulation and leaving the original signal.
    • * An electronic component that demodulates a signal, such as an amplitude-modulated or frequency-modulated signal, to produce the original information.

    Etymology of Demodulator

    The word "demodulator" comes from the prefix "de-" meaning "removal" and "modulator", which refers to a device that modifies a signal to encode information.
    The term "demodulator" has been used in the field of telecommunications and electronics since the early 20th century, with the first demodulators being developed in the 1900s for use in radio communication systems.

    Example Uses

    • The demodulator in the radio receiver extracts the audio signal from the modulated carrier wave.
    • * The demodulator circuit in the computer modem demodulates the incoming signal to retrieve the digital data.
    • * The quadrature demodulator is used in many digital communication systems to demodulate the received signal and extract the original information.
