Here’s a crude (but simple to implement) complex signal envelope detection scheme. By envelope detection, we mean estimating the instantaneous magnitude of a complex signal x c (n). Whether this ...
To address the challenge of improving power-added efficiency (PAE) for high-powered amplifiers, Analog Devices developed the ADL5511 TruPwr rms and envelope detector. The chip combines two RF ...
