Design of quasi-peak detectors with specified time constants
Yona Peless · IRE Transactions on Radio Frequency Interference · 1959
The paper describes a method for designing a quasi-peak detector for given charge and discharge time constants, assuming that the rectifying element has a linear forward characteristic. Some constants, useful in relating charge time and the physical parameters of the circuit, are computed for a wide range of charge to discharge time constant ratios. Special attention is paid to such circuits with standard charge to discharge ratios as used in noise meters.
