27
Application of a mixer of a signal from a local oscillator at a freq. below that of the incoming signal
Low side injection
28
Modulation as stage earlier than final stage Uses linear amplitude ( A, B, AB)

29
Modulation at final stage Uses class C amplitude due to high efficiency
High-level modulation
30
It suppress carrier
Balanced modulator
31
Not used bec. it's difficult to demodulate It requires sync for both phase and frequency
DSBSC
32
