Thomas Henry Tunable Noise Source Question

[Hairy Harry]

The tempcos only cancel if you have a log/antilog function...
so that is the equivalent of having the same input and output...

if it was linear in... its linear out.

The advantage is that if you are trying to do a multiply
of two signals, you can log them, add them together, and anitlog...

but each signal has to go through both stages...

Am I correct here ???
