Abstract
A bipolar logarithmic intermediate-frequency (IF) amplifier with received signal strength indicator (RSSI) circuit for ASK receiver is presented. The amplifier realizes a piecewise approximation to an exact logarithmic response. In the demodulating log amplifiers, a special architecture of RSSI is proposed. There are five stages in the log amplifiers. Each consists of a limiter amplifier and a gm cell. A 90dB input dynamic range within ±1dB linearity is achieved.
