| has gloss | (noun) rectifier that extracts modulation from a radio carrier wave demodulator, detector |
| has gloss | eng: A detector is a device that recovers information of interest contained in a modulated wave. The term dates from the early days of radio when all transmissions were in Morse code, and it was only necessary to detect the presence (or absence) of a radio wave using a device such as a coherer without necessarily making it audible. A more up-to-date term is "demodulator", but "detector" has a history of many decades of use, even if it is a misnomer. |
