.. The most critical component is the PIN photodiode, whose selection often involves conflicting considerations. Detector sensitivity (the number of photons detected for a given radiation field), for example, depends on the ...
.. Design Idea builds on a previous one ( Reference 1 ) to realize a precision peak detector with a bandwidth of 15 to 30 MHz or more, depending on the maximum input-signal level of your ...
.. electronics designers often use peak-detector circuit sin such applications as amplitude measurement, automatic gain control, and data regeneration. ...
.. subsided. The circuit of Figure 1 allows analysis of noise or mechanical bounce within time intervals set by a simple peak detector with an associated comparator. Switch-contact resistance then can be read automatically through the ...

.. battery life. A better method involves a technique borrowed from simple field-strength meters: a tuned circuit and a diode detector. Figure 1 shows the complete circuit, which was tested for proof-of-concept at 445 MHz. This circuit ...
.. longer than the set width are to be detected, ignoring the other short pulses. We are familiar with the missing pulse detector circuit, which detects the occurrence of a missing pulse in a pulse train where the pulses are of equal ...
Fig 1’s circuit, which was developed to monitor the traffic of bumblebees into and out of the hive, differentiates “a-to-b” motion from “b-to-a” motion. When used with an optical decoder, the circuit distinguishes ...
.. voltage and, as such, it is not that convenient for many applications. This Design Idea describes a portable water-leak detector that uses a common 9 V battery for power (Figure 1). The circuit consumes less than 10 uA during ...
.. transitions are equally significant. Figure 1 shows one such circuit. Voltage-level transitions at the output of the detector indicate changing of the sign of the first derivative of the input signal; in other words, the circuit ...
