What is it about?
The paper presents a new realization of bipolar full-wave rectifier of input sinusoidal signals, employing one MO-CCCII (multiple output current controlled current conveyor), a zero-crossing detector (ZCD), and one resistor connected to fixed potential.

Why is it important?
Precision rectifiers are important building blocks for signal processing, conditioning and instrumentation of low-level signals and are extensively used in wattmeters, AC voltmeters, RF demodulators, linear function gen- erators and various nonlinear analogue signal-processing circuits.
Perspectives
In this paper, new full-wave rectifier topologies are given. The circuit employs only two active component and one resistor which is advantageous from the integration point of view and operates in VM. The workability of the proposed circuits is demonstrated by PSpice simulations using the bipolar arrays ALA400 from AT&T technology parameters. The effects of the non-idealities of the active elements are also investigated. The proposed circuit has a high precision, low power consumption and wide band- width.
