  "term": "Transmodulation",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "The conversion of a signal from one modulation format to another without changing its content, as when a cable headend turns QPSK satellite channels into QAM channels for distribution. The same word is also used for cross-modulation, the transfer of an interfering signal's modulation onto a wanted carrier through nonlinear distortion in an amplifier or mixer. Headend equipment that performs the first kind is called a transmodulator.",
