SINGLE-SIDEBAND AND CW RECEIVER SINGLE-SIDEBAND AND CW RECEIVER ENVELOPE DETECTOR An envelope detector is an electronic circuit that takes a high-frequency signal as input, and provides an output which is the envelope of the original signal by converting into a decoded waveform. The capacitor in the circuit stores up charge on the rising edge, and releases it slowly through the resistor when the signal falls. The diode in series ensures current does not flow backward to the input to the circuit. Most practical envelope detectors use either half-wave or full-wave rectification of the signal
