| detector |
An early name for a device that "detected" radio signals. A detector is actually a rectifier that only passes the (intermittent) DC component of an AC signal - thereby allowing the signal to be used as a representative voltage to pass to an amplifier. Early detectors were made from carbon powder or crystals of Galena touched by a thin wire of copper, brass or sometimes silver (the Cat's Whisker) or carbon
