SUMMARY

A ring modulator is a specialized type of modulator that combines two input signals to produce an output signal containing the sum and difference of the frequencies of the inputs. It operates as a double balanced modulator, which means it effectively cancels out the carrier frequency, resulting in a cleaner output. This distinguishes it from single balanced modulators, which do not provide the same level of signal purity. The unique architecture of the ring modulator allows for various applications in audio processing and communication systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of modulation techniques
  • Familiarity with double balanced modulators
  • Basic knowledge of signal processing
  • Experience with audio synthesis concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of double balanced modulation
  • Explore applications of ring modulators in audio synthesis
  • Learn about the differences between single and double balanced modulators
  • Investigate the design and implementation of ring modulators in electronic circuits
USEFUL FOR

Audio engineers, electronic musicians, and anyone interested in signal processing and modulation techniques will benefit from reading this discussion.

hi
really it is apleasure to participate in acommunity like that
i have aquestion ...
wat is aring modulator and wat is its idea and wat make it aspecial kind of modulators?


also is it adouble balanced modulator or asingle one
also wat is meant by adouble balanced modulator because i don't know it

thnx and really appreciated
bye

Thread 'uA709 op amp compensation'

Most likely this can only be answered by an "old timer". I am making measurements on an uA709 op amp (metal can). I would like to calculate the frequency rolloff curves (I can measure them). I assume the compensation is via the miller effect. To do the calculations I would need to know the gain of the transistors and the effective resistance seen at the compensation terminals, not including the values I put there. Anyone know those values?
