Detector Log Video Amplifiers (DLVA) The content of this specification may change without notification7/01/09 DLVA Detector Log Video Amplifiers (DLVA) There are three basic types of logarithmic amplifiers, Detector-Log Video Amplifiers (DLVAs) Successive Detection Logarithmic Amplifiers True Log Amplifiers (TLAs) A detector log video amplifier (DLVA) is a type of logarithmic amplifier in which the envelope of the input RF signal is detected by a standard "linear" diode detector. The output of the detector is pressed in the video amplifier section, making input/output relationship similar to a logarithmic conversion. In general, the DLVA offers the advantage of operating over the...
