Abstract:
We developed in [1] a systematic modular design method for externally linear internally nonlinear (ELIN) circuits. This is a general and unitary approach for reconfiguring a linear block diagram into an equivalent ELIN block diagram described by F⁻¹, N, F nonlinear functions. We focus in this paper on log-domain design rules and performe more circuit simulations in order to prove the applicability of this direct method and make it possible to be automatically applied.
