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 ...

A crystal radio is basically a high Q resonator tied to an antenna and an envelope detector. These days the envelope detector is a point contact diode such as a 1N34 Germanium diode. The resonant ...

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 ...

Modern oscilloscopes capture, view, measure, and analyze complex RF signals in the time, frequency, and modulation domains. Time-domain analysis, the original oscilloscope function, allows users to ...
