Abstract :
A simple, low-cost analog divider circuit using the voltage-variable resistance (VVR) property of a field-effect transistor (FET) is presented. The circuit is useful in signal processing for instrumentation systems. An example application is in linearizing a transducer. Experimental studies of the divider circuit are discussed. A simultaneous multiplier-divider circuit derived from the presented scheme is also discussed
