Pulse signals in heterodyne and homodyne detection
Abstract
The signal levels which result in a detector when transmitted pulses are superimposed with the CW wave form of a local oscillator are calculated for a heterodyne detector. Modulating CW transmitter, CW-LO; pulse transmitter, CW-LO; and pulse transmitter, pulse CW combinations are dealt with for heterodyne and homodyne detectors. Results are in the form of heterodyne and homodyne currents, whose magnitude was validated experimentally.
