FIGURE 5. Amplitude Modulator
The constant term in the above equation may be cancelled Figure 8. A signal voltage applied at R generates a V to X IN by feeding I x I R /2 (V− + 1.4V) into I . The circuit of Fig- the LM13600 which is then multiplied by the g of the ampli- S D C O m ure 6 adds R to provide this current, resulting in a fier to produce an output current, thus: M four-quadrant multiplier where R is trimmed such that V = C O 0V for V = 0V. R also serves as the load resistor for I . IN2 M O Noting that the gain of the LM13600 amplifier of Figure 3 may be controlled by varying the linearizing diode current ID as well as by varying I , Figure 7 shows an AGC Amplifier ABC where g ≈ 19.2 I at 25˚C. Note that the attenuation of m ABC using this approach. As V reaches a high enough amplitude O V by R and R is necessary to maintain V within the linear O A IN (3 V ) to turn on the Darlington transistors and the lineariz- BE range of the LM13600 input. ing diodes, the increase in I reduces the amplifier gain so D Figure 9 shows a similar VCR where the linearizing diodes as to hold V at that level. O are added, essentially improving the noise performance of the resistor. A floating VCR is shown in Figure 10, where
