Abstract

The invention discloses a logarithmic amplifier which comprises a subtracter in a folding structure, at least one amplifier in a folding structure, at least three rectifiers in a current subtracter structure, two variable capacitor arrays and three resistor arrays. The logarithmic amplifier provided by the invention has lower power and stronger anti-PVT bias capability, automatically corrects a resistance-capacitance time constant by controlling a time constant correction circuit, ensures the response speed and the ripple characteristics of an output signal in case of PVT bias, ensures the stability of the logarithmic amplifier and eliminates the direct current shift. Further, by adjusting the structures of the variable capacitor arrays, the invention improves the accuracy of the whole capacitance value and ensures that a feedback network can effectively eliminate the direct current shift of the logarithmic amplifier and ensure the stability of a feedback loop.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of amplifiers, in particular to a logarithmic amplifier. Background technique [0002] Logarithmic amplifiers, generally composed of multi-stage amplifiers and multi-stage rectifiers, have a wider dynamic range than ordinary amplifiers, can detect signals with a wider input range, and are especially suitable for nonlinear amplification of FM signals. The above advantages make logarithmic amplifiers widely used. For example, in communication systems, communication nodes often use logarithmic amplifiers to amplify signals and detect the idleness of channels. [0003] Power consumption and anti-bias ability are one of the two important technical indicators of logarithmic amplifiers. In the prior art 1, the power consumption of the logarithmic amplifier is reduced by using a folded subtractor and amplifier, but the power consumption of the rectifier is relatively large , and varies greatly with changes in proce...
