  demodulation 
  n  :  (electronics)  the  reception  of  a  signal  by  extracting  it 
  from  the  carrier  wave 
 
  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  demodulation 
 
    To  recover  the  {signal}  from  the  {carrier}. 
  For  example,  in  a  radio  broadcast  using  {amplitude  modulation} 
  the  audio  signal  is  transmitted  as  the  mean  amplitude  of  a 
  radio-frequency  carrier  so  demodulation  requires  a  circuit 
  which  measures  the  amplitude  and  filters  out  the  carrier. 
  There  are  many  other  kinds  of  {modulation}  and  corresponding 
  demodulation.
