If we replace the potentiometer VR1 with an AC signal plus DC bias signal in any of the previous Figures 3 to 17, the voltage controlled attenuators can become an amplitude modulator circuit instead.

This circuit combines a modulator and an amplifier into a single stage. The compactness of the circuit makes it appropriate for portable-system applications. The load is in series with two switches ...

Zhonget al. report a flexible, transparent all-graphene modulator circuit performing quaternary modulation schemes with only two transistors.

Inglis presents Barton’s modulator circuit while describing the work of another inventor. In fact, Barton really doesn’t appear to be associated with the science of radio at all. How is it that Barton ...

Physicists at UC San Diego have successfully created speedy integrated circuits with particles called “excitons” that operate at commercially cold temperatures, bringing the possibility of a new type ...

Liu studied electronic circuit and system approaches to develop a new 3-D photonic-electronic wafer-scale integration technology.

The upshot of this opera tion for use as a pulse-width-modulator circuit is an approximate triangle wave (Fig. 2). The triangle wave is employed as the input to op-amp U2.

The modulator is a key component of a photonics-based chip, controlling how light moves through its circuits.
