This paper analyzes the performance of a family of high-quality precision full-wave rectifiers
that utilize operational conveyors. The circuits have high precision, wide bandwidth, and
high accuracy and are superior to the corresponding operational-amplifier (op amp)-based
circuits. Using the LF351 op amp, they are able to rectify signals up to 100 kHz and beyond
with little or no distortion. PSPICE results for the circuits are presented.
