A current-mode bipolar power detector based on a novel synthesis of translinear loop squarer/divider is presented. The circuits consist of a single multiple-output current controlled current differencing transconductance amplifier (MO-CCCDTA), two current controlled conveyors (CCCII), and one resistor and one capacitor that are both grounded. The errors related to the signal processing and errors bound were investigated and presented in the paper. The PSpice simulation and experimental results are depicted, and agree well with the theoretical anticipation. The measurement results show that the scheme improves the accuracy of the detector to better than 0.04 % and wide operating frequency range from 50 Hz to 10 MHz. The maximum power consumption of the detector is approximately 5.80 mW, at ±1.2 V supply voltages.
