Active metadevices integrated with semiconductors. (a) Hybrid silicon-metallic resonators for all-optical ultrafast active metamaterials. (b) Broadband metamaterial frequency switch with femtosecond ...
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.
Modulation is fundamental to electronic communications. The modulating signal might be analog in nature (voice or music) or digital bit streams. Most modern communication systems are digital, using ...
