The described circuit functions as an analog multiplier, which is essential in various applications such as signal processing and control systems. The core of the circuit utilizes a controlled gain amplifier, designated as A2, which adjusts the gain based on the input signals. This enables the circuit to perform multiplication of two analog signals effectively.
In this configuration, the analog multiplier can be realized using operational amplifiers (op-amps) configured in a specific arrangement. The log-antilog circuit is crucial for achieving the multiplication function, as it converts the input voltages into logarithmic values, allowing for the addition of these logarithmic signals. The summing junction, typically formed by an inverting amplifier, facilitates the addition of the logarithmic inputs.
Photoconductors may be integrated into the circuit to enable light-controlled operations, where the resistance of the photoconductor changes with light intensity, thereby affecting the gain of the amplifier. This feature allows for the modulation of the output based on ambient light conditions, making the circuit versatile for applications in light-sensitive environments.
