Abstract:
Input signals are coupled in common to the emitter electrodes of a pair of transistors arranged in a differential amplifier configuration, and are synchronously detected by switching signals coupled to the respective transistor base electrodes. The coupling to the emitter electrodes is through an amplifier transistor similar to that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,531,730, but exhibiting characteristics analagous to a common-base amplifier ''''folded around'''' ground potential as herein described.
