Envelope detection and measurement has important applications in many domains such as instrumentation, sensors characterization, analog and digital communications. Instead of other envelope detection methods that use analog circuits or digital filters, we propose an electronic circuit that operates measurement in coherent mode. After reproduction of the input wave frequency using direct digital synthesizer, we place the envelope on a new low reference frequency signal followed by an analog measurement block based on analog multipliers and low-pass filters. Design circuit, simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the measurement for different values of input and reference frequencies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
