    Abstract: A circuit includes a multi-tanh cell having a common-emitter node to receive a bias current, and an extra transistor coupled to the common-emitter node to dynamically divert a portion of the bias current from the multi-tanh cell. The circuit may be arranged as a multiplier with an input network arranged to apply two or more input signals to the multi-tanh cell. A second multi-tanh cell with an extra transistor may be arranged in a feedback loop where the outputs of the first and second multi-tanh cells are coupled together at an integrating node. A buffer drives the final output and feedback cell to cancel nonlinearities in the multiplier cells.

    Abstract: A variable attenuation system includes a steering core that continuously steers a signal to an attenuator having multiple inputs. An embodiment having an attenuator constructed from discrete components continuously interpolates a signal between the individual inputs of the attenuator. Continuous interpolation between discrete inputs can also be used with attenuators having continuous structures. A fully integrated embodiment achieves continuous input steering by moving a carrier domain along a continuous attenuator. A separate output stage utilizes adaptive biasing to reduce unnecessary current consumption.

    Abstract: The apparatus includes an operational amplifier (56) which has inverting (72) and non-inverting (70) inputs and an output (74) that is a function of the voltage at the inverting and non-inverting inputs (72-70). An attenuator network (54) is connected to the operational amplifier (56). The attenuator network (54) includes circuitry for reducing a voltage of a first value at the inputs (62, 64) of the attenuator network (54) to a voltage that is a fraction of the first value at the output of the attenuator network (54) which voltage is then transmitted to the operational amplifier (56) inputs (70, 72). The attenuator network (54) includes additional circuitry (66) for reducing a common-mode feed-through voltage of a second value at the inputs (62, 64) ot the attenuator network (54) to a common-mode feed-through voltage that is a fraction of the second voltage at the output of the operational amplifier (56).

    Abstract: A control system may be selectively operated in open loop mode, for example, during data bursts. In a power control system, the transmitted power may be selectively held at a constant level, for example, at the end of a ramp period. The forward path gain of a control system may be varied in an inverse-function manner ahead of an integrator. The slope of a measurement signal from a detector may be made to have a complementary polarity.

    Abstract: A multi-stage logarithmic converter of the 'successive-detection' or 'progressive-compression' type including means providing an accurate, temperature-stabilized logarithmic transfer function. The gain stages are DC-coupled throughout, though each also employs a demodulator comprising a full-wave rectifier, allowing operation in both baseband and demodulating modes. The signal path is differential and is balanced, including the demodulators. Each gain stage is based on a differential amplifier, or 'long-tail pair' operated in an open-loop mode and biased by a tail current generator which supplies a tail current that is both proportional to absolute temperature and compensated automatically for effects of finite transistor beta and base and emitter resistances. The demodulators are biased by a very low offset voltage which also is proportional to absolute temperature. The log intercept is temperature-stabilized by either employing a PTAT attenuator ahead of the complete amplification system or by introducing at the output node (a current summing junction) a current which varies with temperature in such a way as to offset intercept movement which otherwise would be generated.
