Examples
A receiver cannot demodulate this transmission without knowledge of the pseudo-random sequence used to encode the data.
It was only years later that John Ambrose Fleming utilized the rectifying property of the diode tube to detect ( demodulate ) radio signals, a substantial improvement on the early cat's-whisker detector already used for rectification.
The Viterbi decoder implements a soft-decision algorithm to demodulate digital data from an analog signal corrupted by noise.
In order to correct this, a small amount of the original carrier signal can be transmitted so that receivers with the necessary circuitry to synchronize with the transmitted carrier can correctly demodulate the audio.
So it is possible for an AM receiver to demodulate several carriers at the same time, resulting in an audio mix.
The non-square constellations, dealt with below, achieve marginally better bit-error rate (BER) but are harder to modulate and demodulate.
