Abstract :
A novel electronic circuit that allows conventional operational amplifiers such as the LM741 to deliver precise full-wave rectified signals for a wide range of frequencies without distortion is described. The circuit utilises a standard op amp configuration that is modified by the replacement of one op amp with a current conveyor to improve the rectifying process
