Abstract :
An approach to the design of two high performance envelope detectors is made in this work. Proposed structures do not need the traditional compensation between keeping and tracking required in these circuits. The procedure relies on using a couple of sample-and-hold detectors and combines them to obtain the envelope of the signal. Simulation results are offered and it is shown the superior performance of the proposed detectors comparing with the conventional ones
