ABSTRACT:
In a logarithmic intermediate frequency amplifier circuit including first through M-th intermediate frequency amplifiers which are connected in cascade and first through M-th double balanced differential circuits which are connected to the first through the M-th intermediate frequency amplifiers, respectively, each of the first through the M-th double balanced differential circuits comprises primary, secondary, and tertiary differential circuits. The primary differential circuit includes a pair of transistors each of which is one of NPN and PNP types and which are connected to a first constant current source. The secondary differential circuit includes a pair of transistors each of which is another one of NPN and PNP types and which are connected to a second constant current source. The tertiary differential circuit includes a pair of transistors each of which is the other one of the NPN and the PNP types and which are connected to a third constant current source. The primary differential circuit is connected to the second and the third constant current sources and delivers a differential output to the secondary and the tertiary differential circuits so as to reduce currents of the second and the third constant current sources.
