What is the balanced modulator?
Simply so, what is a balanced modulator an example of?
A balanced modulator mixes the audio signal and the radio frequency carrier, but suppresses the carrier, leaving only the sidebands. The output from the balanced modulator is a double sideband suppressed carrier signal and it contains all the information that the AM signal has, but without the carrier.
Keeping this in view, what is the difference between a balanced modulator and a regular modulator?
In a balanced modulator, there is 180º phase shift between the upper and lower sidebands. c. In a balanced modulator, only one sideband is produced. In a balanced modulator, harmonics of the sidebands are suppressed.
kt ‚mäj·?‚lād·?r] (electronics) Modulator whose modulated output is substantially equal to the carrier and the modulating wave; the term implies a device in which intermodulation between components of the modulating wave does not occur.
