Abstract:
A demodulator includes input terminals, for receiving an input signal, and an amplifier stage having a gain. The input signal is amplitude-modulated and is defined by a carrier signal at a carrier frequency and by a modulating signal. The demodulator includes, moreover, a gain-control stage, coupled to the amplifier stage for varying the gain of the amplifier stage according to a sinusoid of a frequency equal to the carrier frequency, on the basis of the carrier signal.
