Abstract: An amplitude modulation envelope detector comprised of a basic voltage doubler envelope detector whose linear dynamic range is increased by a forward bias network and for which the offset voltage is stabilized by temperature drift compensation provided by a temperature compensation network. The forward bias network increases the basic envelope detector linear dynamic range by clamping the basic detector to a predetermined bias voltage which takes the detector components out of the non-linear region of operation, and the temperature compensation network, which is comprised of components matched to those found in the basic envelope detector, stabilizes the offset voltage by providing a signal to the inverting input of an operational amplifier to compensate for the operating characteristic variations of the components in the basic envelope detector and the forward bias network.
