Multipliers vs. Modulators
Modulators are closely related to multipliers, but the output of a multiplier is the product of its inputs, while the output of a modulator is the product of the signal on one input and the sign of the signal on the other input. The modulation function can be modeled by an amplifier whose gain is switched positive and negative by a comparator on its carrier input; or a multiplier with a limiting amplifier between the carrier input and one of its ports.
Safeguard Your RS-485 Communication Networks from Harmful EMC Events
RS-485 links must work in harsh environments, with large transient voltages caused by lightning strikes, electrostatic discharge, and other electromagnetic phenomenon, so they must meet standards for electrostatic discharge, electrical fast transients, and surge. This article describes these transient types and presents EMC compliant solutions for three different cost/protection levels.
Programmable-Gain TIAs Maximize Dynamic Range in Spectroscopy Systems
Precision instruments that measure physical properties using a photodiode or other current-output sensor often include a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and a programmable-gain stage to maximize dynamic range. This article shows the benefits and challenges of implementing a single-stage programmable-gain TIA to minimize noise while maintaining high bandwidth and accuracy.
Choose Resistors to Minimize Errors in Grounded-Load Current Source
Operational amplifiers are often used to make high-quality current sources. In industrial applications, they are widely used to provide 4 mA to 20 mA currents. The improved Howland current source is very popular because it can drive a grounded load. Its accuracy is determined by the amplifier and the resistors. This article shows how to choose the external resistors to minimize errors.
Voltage Reference Design for Precision Successive-Approximation ADCs
The precision of a high-resolution successive-approximation ADC depends on the accuracy, stability, and drive capability of its voltage reference. The reference sees a dynamic load, so it must be able to handle time- and throughput-dependent currents. The best performance can usually be achieved with an external reference, so this article looks at the challenges and design requirements.
Complete Sensor-to-Bits Solution Simplifies Industrial Data-Acquisition System Design
At the heart of many industrial automation and process-control systems, programmable logic controllers employ multiple sensors and actuators to measure and control analog process variables such as pressure, temperature, and flow. This article shows how the highly integrated ADAS3022 reduces complexity, facilitating the design of multichannel data-acquisition systems.
Multipliers vs. Modulators
By James Bryant
Although many descriptions of modulation describe it as a multiplication process, the truth is a bit more complex.
First, to be quite clear, if the two inputs of a perfect multiplier were fed with a signal, Acos(ωt), and an unmodulated carrier, cos(ωt), we would have a modulator. This happens because the two periodic waveforms, Ascos(ωst) and Accos(ωct), applied to the inputs of a multiplier (with a scale factor of 1 V for simplicity of analysis), produce an output given by:
Vo(t) = ½AsAc[cos((ωs+ ωc)t) + cos(– ωc)t))]
If the carrier, Accos(ωct), has 1 V amplitude (Ac= 1), this further simplifies to:
Vo(t) = ½As[cos((ωs+ ωc)t) + cos((– ωc)t)]
But, in most cases, a modulator is a better circuit to perform this function. A modulator (also called a mixer when it is used as a frequency changer) is closely related to a multiplier. The output of a multiplier is the instantaneous product of its inputs. The output of a modulator is the instantaneous product of the signal on one of its inputs (known as the signal input) and the sign of the signal on the other input (known as the carrier input).
