Abstract
A signal rectifying circuit which is capable of providing rectification either with a balanced or unbalanced input and wherein the output comprises an undelayed signal. A pair of transistors of opposite type are coupled to the input circuit such that they alternately conduct with the positive and negative half cycles of the input signal and wherein a third transistor is coupled to the pair of input transistors such that it conducts during both the positive and negative portions of the input wave so as to provide a rectified output signal. A second embodiment provides a pair of diodes interconnected with the rectifying circuit so as to remove the time delay normally resulting due to the voltage required to bias a transistor to conduction.
