ABSTRACT:
For detecting a quickly or sharply varying signal (the event) against a background of a more slowly changing ambient signal (the background), the envelope detector inputs the signal and full wave rectifies it. It sends the signal to the background filter and event filter, each of which includes an RC circuit. The background filter and event filter each independently process the signal to be evaluated in different manners based on the intrinsic frequency characteristics of the event signal, and of the background signal. The outputs of the two filter sections are sent to the decision section. Based on its processing, the decision section outputs a signal in one of two states, one corresponding to detection, and the other corresponding to non-detection.
