  • Abstract
    The relationship between the input and output signal-to-noise ratios in logarithmic amplifiers is derived for the large and small input signal-to-noise ratios. It is shown that with a properly chosen bias, the logarithmic amplifiers improve the output signal-to-noise ratios under all input signal-to-noise ratios.
