Abstract
Abstract A circuit for converting the effective value of an input electric signal into a DC voltage comprises an integrator for producing a DC output voltage, a first means for adding the input signal to a signal fed back from the output side of the integrator, a second means for subtracting the signal fed back from the output of the integrator from the input signal, and means for multiplying the output from the first means with the output from the second means for applying the product to the input of the integrator.

A circuit for converting the effective value of an input electric signal into a DC voltage, comprising an integrator for producing a DC output voltage, a first means for adding said input signal to a signal fed back from the output side of said integrator, a second means for subtracting said signal fed back from the output of said integrator from said input signal, and means for multiplying the output from said first means with the output from said second means for applying the product to the input of said integrator.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A circuit for converting the effective value of an input electric signal into a DC voltage, comprising an integrator for producing a DC output voltage, a first means for adding said input signal to a signal fed back from the output side of said integrator, a second means for subtracting said signal fed back from the output of said integrator from said input signal, and means for multiplying the output from said first means with the output from said second means for applying the product to the input of said integrator.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
