Abstract
The realization of a full-wave rectifier using a current conveyor and current mirrors is presented. The proposed rectifier is composed of a voltage-to-current converter, a current mode full-wave rectifier, and a current-to-voltage converter. A voltage input signal is changed into a current signal by the voltage-to-current converter. The current mode full-wave rectifier rectifies this current signal resulting in the current full-wave output signal that is converted into a voltage full-wave output signal by one grounded-resistor. The theory of operation is described. The simulation and experiment results are used to verify the theoretical prediction. Simulated results show that the proposed rectifier yields the minimum voltage rectification to 94 μV. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposed rectifier for 50 mVpeak signal rectification.
