Abstract
The exponential current‐voltage characteristic of the input of a grounded base junction transistor is utilized to construct an analog multiplier. Four‐quadrant operation is obtained by using two channels—one with pnp and the other with npn transistors. Design considerations of the various components of the multiplier are discussed. It is shown that the performance of the multiplier—particularly in respect of bandwidth—compares favorably with that of the other types described in the literature.
