High-performance current differencing transconductance amplifier and its application in precision current-mode rectification

Abstract A CMOS-based circuit for realization of high-performance current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA) is demonstrated. The proposed circuit offers the advantages of a wide frequency bandwidth and very small input terminal impedance. The results of circuit simulations and an application example are given to illustrate the advantages of the proposed circuit for precise high-frequency signal rectification.
