Abstract
A bipolar logarithmic intermediate-frequency (IF) amplifier with received signal strength indicator (RSSI) circuit for ASK Receiver is presented. The amplifier realizes a piecewise approximation to an exact logarithmic response. In the demodulating Log Amplifiers, a special architecture of RSSI is proposed. There are five stages in Log amplifiers. Each consists of a limiter amplifier and a gm cell. A 90 dB input dynamic range within ±1 dB linearity is achieved.
