Fast-Settling Envelope Detectors

Abstract

An approach to the design of two high performance envelope detectors is made in this work. Proposed structures do not need the traditional compensation between keeping and tracking required in these circuits. The procedure relies on using a couple of sample and hold detectors and combine them to obtain the envelope of the signal. Simulation results are offered and it is shown the superior performance of the proposed detectors comparing with the conventional ones Keywordsenvelope detector, fast settling, high performance, sample and hold, peak detector.
