Giantkiller moves forward into Full Heterodyning.

Ok.

--goodbye.

That's your technical argument then?

why are you posting here if you don't expect people to take you seriously?

If I'm wrong then it should be straight forward for you to argue your point in a technical manner.

At least he's doing something.  All you do is tell them they're wrong.

@Giantkiller,

Please continue the use of the word.

In radio terms (not the only place where it is used) it is the generation of ONE frequency to be combined with an existing signal for the purpose of creating a sum of the two AND the difference between the two. Radio folks may use either but normally not both. I can't think of any radio use where more than one frequency is injected at the same stage for the purpose of heterodyning. There probably is - just can't think of any right now.

My understanding of the physics definition is the use of one or more forces/energies/etc. to cause conversion to another force/energy/etc.

The root word meaning is 'different power'.

I think you have it right.

At least he's doing something.  All you do is tell them they're wrong.

and all that you do is follow along blindly because you know no better. I guess the ride is fun even though no one knows where they're goin'.

try thinking for yourselves and question what you read. gk has gone astray with heterodyning (unless he has a better argument than "goodbye"), so what else here might be wrong?

BEP, you ought to brush up on your electronics. 

heterodyning is just a fancy word for mixing, which is a fancy way of saying the multiplication of two (or more) wave forms. Get radio out of your mind, it applies to any electrical signals mixed in a non-linear medium. (including radio applications).

4 quadrant multipliers are mixers, as an eg. You must have at least 2 signals in order to get your resultant products.
