resistance of U1A as well as the fixed 6 dB attenuation provided by R2 and the input resistance of U1B are included both to set

VLOG to read 0 dB when VIN is 3.16 mV rms and to center the 100 dB range between 10 μV rms and 1 V rms input. R5 and

C3 provide a 3 dB noise bandwidth of 30 kHz. R12 to R15 change the scaling from 625 mV/decade at the control inputs to 1 V/decade at the output and at the same time center the dy- namic range at 60 dB, which occurs if the VG of U1B is equal to zero. These arrangements ensure that the VLOG will still fit within the ± 6 V supplies.

Figure 30 shows VLOG to be linear over a full 120 dB range. Figure 31 shows the error ripple due to the individual gain func- tions which is bounded by ± 0.2 dB (dotted lines) from 6 μV to 2 V. The small perturbations at about 200 μV and 20 mV, caused by the impracticality of matching the gain functions per- fectly, are the only sign that the gains are now sequential. Fig-

ure 32 is a plot of VAGC which remains very close to its set value of 316 mV rms over the full 120 dB range.

To more directly compare the signal-to-noise ratios in the “simultaneous” and “sequential” modes of operation, all inter- stage attenuation was eliminated (R2 and R3 in Figure 25, R2 in Figure 29), the input of U1A was shorted, R5 was selected to provide a 20 kHz bandwidth (R5 = 7.87 kΩ), and only the gain control was varied, using an external source. The rms value of the noise was then measured at VOUT and expressed as an S/N

ratio relative to 0 dBV, this being almost the maximum output capability of the AD600. Results for the simultaneous mode can be seen in Figure 33. The S/ N ratio degreades uniformly as the gain is increased. Note that since the inverting gain control was used, the gain in this curve and in Figure 34 decreases for more positive values of the gain-control voltage.
