Abstract
A 1.3 GHz dual stage i.c. for logarithmic successive detection (s.d.) amplifiers is described. A complete amplifier using three i.c.´ s achieves a signal compression accuracy of ± 1dB over an input dynamic range of 65dB at a frequency of 450MHz. This device is aimed at electronic support measures (e.s.m.) systems and is also applicable to high performance signal regenerators such as those used in fibre optic data links.
