Abstract
In a radio receiver or transmitter circuit, a high sensitivity dual function meter circuit for metering the DC and AC operation of a circuit stage is constructed by connecting a detector diode to a point in the source or emitter circuit of the metered stage rather than to ground. High sensitivity is obtained by passing both the DC and AC current through the detector diode so that a smaller AC voltage swing can be detected.
