Abstract

At low‐voltage levels a diode ring forms an extremely simple four‐quadrant passive analog multiplier characterized by reliability, stability, and wide band width. Operation is analyzed theoretically, and experimental tests are described. These show that with care in selecting diodes and adjusting circuit values, 1% accuracy is obtainable at input levels up to 150 mv.
