Abstract
A novel design methodology is presented for the true logarithmic ampli fier scheme. Major features of the method include a better approximati on of the ideal logarithmic characteristic allowing a major reduction of the logarithmic error and a higher dynamic range. A sample monolith ic amplifier has been fabricated and tested, featuring decade-bandwidt h operation from 0.3 to 5 GHz.
