modulation
process of encoding information by varying properties of a periodic carrier waveform
frequency mixer
nonlinear electrical circuit that creates new frequencies from two signals applied to it
heterodyne
thumb|upright=1.5|Frequency mixer symbol used in schematic diagrams. Here, the input signal consists of signals at multiple frequencies, which are mixed to create the output signal that are signals at new frequencies.
pentagrid
vacuum tube with seven electrodes – cathode, anode, and five grids
Gilbert cell
electronic frequency mixer
variable-gain amplifier
electronic amplifier that varies its gain depending on a control voltage
four-wave mixing
nonlinear optics intermodulation phenomenon whereby interactions between two or three wavelengths produce two or one new wavelengths
ring modulation
frequency mixing function in signal processing
Analog multiplier
device that multiplies two analog signals
