Abstract
A logarithmic detector amplifying (LDA) system is provided for use as a high sensitivity receive booster or replacement for a low noise amplifier in a receive chain of a communication device. The LDA system includes an amplifying circuit configured to receive an input signal having a first frequency and generate an oscillation based on the input signal, a sampling circuit coupled to the amplifying circuit and configured to terminate the oscillation based on a predetermined threshold to periodically clamp and restart the oscillation to generate a series of pulses modulated by the oscillation and by the input signal, and one or more metamaterial ('MTM') resonant circuits coupled in shunt with an RF path that couples the amplifying circuit in series and configured to establish a frequency of operation and a phase response to output a signal having RF frequencies with a ultra-wide bandwidth.
