Envelope detectors are often a component of other circuits, such as a compressor or an auto-wah or envelope-followed filter. In these circuits, the envelope follower is part of what is known as the "side chain", a circuit which describes some characteristic of the input, in this case its volume.
The envelope detector is a very simple method of demodulation that does not require a coherent demodulator. It consists of a rectifier (anything that will pass current in one direction only) or other non-linear component that enhances one half of the received signal over the other and a low-pass filter.
The envelope of a waveform is a curve that outlines the waveform. A major category of AM demodulation technique involves envelope detection, since the envelope of an AM signal is the original signal. A diode detector is a type of simple envelope detector.
An additional audio processing device further improved the sideband structure by selectively applying pre-emphasis to the modulating signals. Since the envelope of all the signals described remains an exact copy of the information applied to the modulator, it can be demodulated without distortion by an envelope detector such as a simple diode.
A direct-conversion receiver (DCR), also known as a homodyne, synchrodyne, zero intermediate frequency or zero-IF receiver, is a radio receiver design that demodulates the incoming radio signal using synchronous detection driven by a local oscillator whose frequency is identical to, or very close to the carrier frequency of the intended signal.
Radar envelope is a critical Measure of Performance (MOP) identified in the Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP). This is the volume of space where a radar system is required to reliably detect an object with a specific size and speed. This is one of the requirements that must be evaluated as part of the acceptance testing process. [1]
When it comes to money, it always helps to take a step back, acknowledge your emotions and weigh the risks and rewards. Hear an expert's take on 8 common mindsets that could be holding you back ...
The definition used in this article is the type of envelope that an envelope detector detects (as opposed to the type that a synchronous demodulator would detect, which usually wouldn't be called an envelope).
