AI Thread Summary
Increasing modulation depth affects both product and envelope detectors differently. Product detectors maintain performance with higher modulation depths, as they can effectively demodulate complex signals. In contrast, envelope detectors may struggle with distortion and reduced fidelity at high modulation depths due to their reliance on the envelope of the signal. Understanding modulation depth involves equations that define it, typically related to the amplitude of the modulating signal compared to the carrier. For accurate analysis, it's essential to explore relevant circuits and theoretical foundations.

What will happen to product detector and envelope detector when modulation depth is increasing?

(I deleted the unecessary ? from your post)

What do you think will happen? What equations should you use to answer your question? Please define and show us circuits for the product detector and envelope detector. What is the equation for Modulation Depth?

Please put much more effort into your questions here at the PF.
 
as in the i just want to know the theory of it

Please show some effort of your own, or this thread will be deleted.

Search your terms on wikipedia, hyperphysics, google, etc. If you have specific questions about what you find, post the links and your specific questions here.
 
when is the condition for use of product detector??
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
