An amplifier with auto-ranging capabilities for use in airborne trials
Abstract
An amplifier for use in aircraft on missile trials for instrumentation purposes is described which can assess the amplitude of the signal and set the optimum gain. The design is discussed with regard to amplifier performance (particularly with respect to common mode rejection), methods of gain changing, peak detection, and gain value transmission. A practical application is described together with some suggestions for future development.
