envelopevääristymään
Envelope distortion, in Finnish envelopevääristymään, refers to a type of signal distortion that affects the amplitude modulation of a carrier wave. It is a phenomenon primarily observed in analog radio transmission systems, particularly those employing amplitude modulation (AM). Envelope distortion occurs when the demodulator circuit is unable to accurately reproduce the original modulating signal's envelope.
This distortion can manifest in several ways. One common cause is insufficient bandwidth in the receiver's
The consequence of envelope distortion is a degradation in the quality of the received audio signal. The
Envelope distortion is distinct from other forms of distortion like frequency distortion or phase distortion, although
