Demodulation: The process of extracting the original information-bearing signal from a carrier wave. A demodulator takes a modulated carrier signal, which has specific characteristics set by a modulating signal, and converts it back into its original form or something close to it. It is the reverse process of modulation, which is used to encode information onto a carrier wave for transmission. Demodulation is a key function in radio receivers, televisions, and other telecommunications and data communication systems.
