Abstract
The design of a precision full-wave rectifier using current conveyors is reported. The design uses a voltage reference circuit to clad the voltage excursions at the output of the rectifier during the zero crossings, which ensures that the usual large signal distortion associated with classical precision rectifiers is avoided. Measured rectifier performance using a 100 MHz current conveyor demonstrates good rectifier integrity at an operating frequency of 30 MHz
