A large bandwidth analog isolation circuit is disclosed. Isolation transformers (11, 12) isolate the nonfloating side on the right hand from the floating side on the left hand. The input signal (1a, 1b) and a high frequency sinusoidal signal (3a, 3b) via a transformer (16) from an oscillator (18) are applied to a multiplier (20). The floating multiplied signal is supplied to a nonfloating multiplier (60). Thereby, the signal (6a, 6b) is multiplied by the high frequency sinusoidal signal (8a, 8b). The nonfloating multiplied signal (9a, 9b) is obtainable and is filtered (67, 68) to send out the output signal (2a, 2b) reproduced from the input signal (1a, 1b). Thus, replica of the input signal is obtained in the nonfloating side.

A voltage-to-current converting circuit configured to convert an input voltage signal into a pair of complementary current signals by use of a current mirror, comprises a transistor 4 connected in the form of a diode and connected in series with a constant current source 21, a transistor 3 having a collector connector to a collector of the transistor 4, a transistor 2 having a base connected to a base of the transistor 3 so as to form a current mirror in cooperation with the transistor 3, the base of the transistor 2 being connected to receive an input voltage signal Vin, a bias circuit 5 for biasing the base of the transistors 3 and 2, and a transistor 1 having a base connected to a base of the transistor 4 so as to form a current mirror in cooperation with the transistor 4. The input voltage Vin is converted into a collector current I1 of the transistor 1 and a collector current I2 of the transistor 2. Thus, the voltage-to-current converting circuit is composed of only NPN transistors, so that a manufacturing process is simplified. In addition, since no emitter follower is included, a low voltage operation can be realized. This circuit can be applied to a multiplier, frequency doubler, a frequency mixer, etc.

An electronic impedance circuit is constructed of a voltage-current converter and a variable gain current amplifier. The voltage-current converter includes first and second transistors of the PNP-type differentially connected. The variable gain current amplifier includes third and fourth transistors of the NPN-type differentially connected, and fifth and sixth transistors of the PNP-type as load means. The bases of the third and fourth transistors are respectively driven by collector signals of the first and second transistors, and a collector signal of the third transistor is fed back to the base of the second transistor. In order to reduce a d.c. offset attributed to a current flowing between the base of the second transistor and the collector of the third transistor, a compensation circuit is connected to the variable gain amplifier. This compensation circuit can provide compensation by producing a compensation current for cancelling the current between the base of the second transistor and the collector of the third transistor.

A feed forward circuit that can be used as an isolator or filter includes a first and a second directional coupler that, depending on the application, either splits an applied signal into two paths or combines the two paths to obtain an output signal. One path includes an electronically tunable band reject filter (or notch filter) which may be bypassed by a switch in the isolator application, and an inverting amplifier. The second path includes a delay line that compensates for the time delay of the signal in the first path due to the time delay of the inverting amplifier and electronically tunable band reject filter.

An improved bandpass filter circuit for selecting a relatively narrow band portion of an input sinusoidal signal. The improved bandpass filter circuit produces an output signal whose phase deviation from the input signal is substantially constant for small variations in the frequency of the input signal. The improved bandpass filter circuit in accordance with the present invention does not use feedback control in its operation and therefore is free from the inherent delay time of a tracking type bandpass filter utilizing feedback control in handling transitory input signals.
