ABSTRACT:
An amplifier/detector chain logarithmically amplifies an input signal as well as compensates for delays generated by necessary bandwidth restrictions. A plurality of amplifiers are connected in series and grouped in amplifier stages with each stage having at least one amplifier. In between each amplfier stage is a filter which restricts the bandwidth of signals to frequencies in a desired signal range. When an amplifier stage includes more than one amplifier, a local summer sums the outputs detected by detectors associated with each amplifier in a particular stage. When an amplifier stage includes only a single amplifier associated detector, the local sum signal for the stage is simply the detector output. No local summer is required. Because of the time delay introduced by each interposed filter, each local sum is input to a corresponding compensating device which compensates for the associated time delay. Each compensating device stores its corresponding local sum until the local sum from the final stage is ready to be output. When all of the local summer outputs have been time-aligned or brought in phase, the local sums are connected from their corresponding compensating devices to a central summer stage. The output of the central summer represents the instantaneous output of the logarithmically amplified input signal.
