Abstract
Amplitude detection of a baseband electrical signal. The detection may be performed by performing full wave rectification on both an in-phase portion of the electrical signal, as on a quadrature-phase portion of the electrical signal. The output signal may be generated by summing the rectified in-phases signal and the rectified quadrature-phase signal. The peak amplitude of the output signal may then be used to determine the amplitude of the original baseband signal.
