True RMS Voltage Discriminator

This paper discusses the circuitry, the electrical specifications, the environmental specifications, and the method of calibration of a completely transistorized true root-mean-square voltage discriminator. The circuitry is broken into four separate operational circuits, each of which is discussed in relation to what it does and what its relationship to the other configurations is. The specifications of the discriminator are discussed along with a detailed explanation of the method employed in calibration of the module with nonsinusoidal waveforms.
