Abstract
Disclosed herein is a synchronous single cycle sample and control amplitude modulator for use with any carrier frequency. The modulator includes both a data input and a sine wave generator coupled with a sample and hold device. The sample and hold device synchronizes the data and the sine wave signal and then transmits the synchronized signal to a modulator. The modulator modulates the synchronized data and the sine wave signal such that a sampled and controlled, synchronous single cycle amplitude modulated signal is produced.
