A high-quality dual-input differentiator

A dual-input ideal differentiator network design with a single resistor-controlled time constant and high-gain operational amplifier (OA) devices is described. At high frequencies, the network becomes functionally nonideal and its quality factor (Q) degrades because of the frequency-dependent gain of the OA. A suitable Q-compensation design that yields a 1: mod A mod /sup 2/ order of Q improvement at higher frequencies is proposed. The network exhibits high-frequency deemphasis characteristics due to the OA-poles which would suppress the high-frequency noise components.<
