ABSTRACT:
An electronic gain control circuit comprising a logarithmic circuit portion and an antilogarithmic circuit portion which is coupled to a current mirror circuit producing an output signal which is linearly related to an input signal applied to the logarithmic circuit portion thereof having a magnitude which is varied in response to a gain-control signal applied to the circuit. The logarithmic circuit portion of the gain control circuit provides a logarithmic voltage drive signal which drives the antilogarithmic circuit portion to supply an input current at the input of the current mirror having no fundamental signal components of the applied input signal. The output of the antilogarithmic circuit portion is coupled at an interconnect node with the output of the current mirror such that direct current components as well as second harmonic signal components of the applied input signal are cancelled and do not appear in the output of the electronic gain control circuit.
