Hi, I am trying to figure out how this attached circuit works to rectify an input voltage and output a current \(Ig = 2{Vin_{ave}}{R1}\)
What is the deal with the norator connected to another via a diode? Shouldn't there be another diode for full-wave rectification going in the opposite direction to rectify the negative swings?
Also, not really sure what the transistor with two emitters means. Is this a short-form for a gain of two?
Any help would be much appreciated.
