Abstract
In a half-wave or multi-path RF diode-rectifier circuit having at least one rectifier diode and at least one output-side charging capacitor, the output is loaded with a non-linear load resistance having approximately the same relative temperature coefficient as the video resistance at zero bias of the rectifier diode and being non-linear, so that linearization of the relationship between output voltage and the square of input voltage is carried out beyond the square-law range.
