Can you sum demodulated signals with a single summing amp, or is it best to demodulate individually then sum together?
I'm working with Delta-Sigma modulation signals for audio ADC/DAC, and I'm curious if there is a best practice when it comes to summing their signals. Demodulation is generally achieved with a simple ...

Why do we need a diode in an AM demodulation circuit?
The incoming signal is a modulated carrier wave, right? If we only apply a low-pass filter to it, we will get an AC signal that can be passed to a speaker directly, right?
Using a diode, we end up ...
