What is the meaning of "modulated physical systems"?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the paper "Theory of dynamic response functions of periodically modulated physical systems" by Lovesey et al., which introduces the concept of "modulated systems." The term refers to systems influenced by periodic external driving forces. Participants emphasize the importance of examining the initial sections of the paper for definitions and relevant equations that clarify the concept. Additionally, they suggest that earlier works may provide foundational terminology necessary for understanding the topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of dynamic response functions in physical systems
  • Familiarity with periodic modulation concepts in physics
  • Knowledge of foundational papers in physical system modeling
  • Ability to interpret scientific equations and terminology
NEXT STEPS
  • Read "Theory of dynamic response functions of periodically modulated physical systems" by Lovesey et al.
  • Explore earlier papers referenced in the discussion for foundational terminology
  • Study periodic driving forces in physical systems
  • Investigate dynamic response functions in various physical models
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, graduate students, and academics in the fields of physics and engineering, particularly those focusing on dynamic systems and modulation effects.

In particular I'm studying the paper "Theory of dynamic response functions of periodically modulated physical systems" by Lovesey et al. and "modulated system" are mentioned many times.
My thesis advisor recommend to me reed this paper but is very confuse, any reference you can give me in relation to the title of this paper will be very helpful.

The title of the paper does not give enough information to answer this question. Most likely the concept is defined within the first few paragraphs, and the equations there will tell you what the model is. Alternately, sometimes an author will instead refer you to an earlier paper where the important terminology is described.

My guess is that "periodically modulated" means there is a periodic external driving force or input. But I am just guessing.

Can you provide an image of the first few paragraphs? That's not ideal, but it's better than nothing.
