Abstract :
A cube-law device is normally considered to be useless as a detector. A symmetrical nonlinear resistance has a cube-law characteristic and can be used as a detector when the input voltage is asymmetric about the time axis. Such asymmetry in voltage is commonly found in a class of nonlinear devices whose waveshapes are characterized by a firing angle. Detection of this wave with a cube-law device produces a polarity-sensitive output without the need of a reference voltage.
