Used in receiver circuits for demodulation.

The is a specialized third-party component package that introduces the MC1496 balanced modulator/demodulator integrated circuit (IC) into the Labcenter Electronics Proteus Design Suite . Developed originally by Motorola and currently manufactured by onsemi , the MC1496 is an industry-standard monolithic Gilbert Cell mixer designed for radio frequency (RF) communications up to 300 MHz. Because native Proteus databases frequently lack advanced, specialized analog RF integrated circuits, implementing a custom library file becomes necessary for simulating double-sideband suppressed-carrier (DSB-SC) modulators, AM mixers, and product detectors. Technical Overview of the MC1496 IC

This ability to multiply signals makes it exceptionally useful for a wide range of high-frequency applications, including:
