Abstract :
Peak detectors (or envelope detectors) are commonly found in modern communication receivers mainly as a building block of automatic gain control (AGC) loops. The main function of the peak detectors is to detect the peak value of an input signal and track the peak over time. In this paper, some of peak detector topologies and their applications in multistandard wireless receivers was presented
