He can't be a competent engineer if he doesn't understand synchronous
detection, which may predate single side band, pre 1952.

He can't be a competent engineer if he doesn't understand three-phase
power generation and transmission as well. Learning all that was
necessary before we could learn electronics in every major engineering
school.

Hmmm. When I was an undergrad, electronics usually came after
electromagnetic physics. Power generation and transmission were EE
electives, if not grad courses.

In response to the OP: 46, unemployed software engineer/computer
scientist.
