Amplitude Modulator
and Demodulator Circuits
square-law function produce third-, fourth-, and higherorder harmonics, which are sometimes referred to as
intermodulation products.
Intermodulation products are easy to filter out.
Tuned circuits filter out the modulating signal and carrier
harmonics, leaving only carrier and sidebands.

communication applications.
It can work at carrier frequencies up to 100 MHz.
It can achieve a carrier suppression of 50 to 65 dB.
The 1496/1596 IC can operate as a balanced modulator
or configured to perform as an amplitude modulator, a
product detector, or a synchronous detector.
