The capacitor in the circuit stores up charge on the rising edge, and releases it slowly through the resistor when the signal falls. The diode in series rectifies the incoming signal, allowing current flow only when the positive input terminal is at a higher potential than the negative input terminal. | The capacitor in the circuit stores up charge on the rising edge, and releases it slowly through the resistor when the signal falls.

The obtained signal is the envelope of the positive half wave obtained previously. It is actually the 100 Hz message signal with some 10 KHz variations on it. | The obtained signal is the envelope of the positive half wave obtained previously.
