Never thought about 'active rectifiers' being used as a detector, heard about them in power supplies though.... I know synchronous detectors can cope with asymmetric sidebands & carrier cancellation & over modulation; I understand how it copes with the sidebands & the carrier fluctuating in fading, but not how it copes with over modulation.... What sort of distortion is caused by diode detectors?
