ABSTRACT:
A gated peak detector produces phase-independent, magnitude-only samples of an RF signal. Gate duration can span as few as two RF cycles or thousands of RF cycles. Response is linearly proportional to RF amplitude while being independent of RF phase and frequency. A quadrature implementation is disclosed. The RF magnitude sampler can finely resolve interferometric patterns produced by narrowband holographic pulse radar.
