A high precision logarithmic amplifier with wide passband is achieved by using the charge and discharge of RC and the method of pulse-width modulation. It can be used in the astronomy, astronavigation, accurate measurement, communication etc. The theoretical analysis of the circuit is given. A practical circuit is constructed, and the experimental result shows that the logarithmic function for the circuit reaches 99% of the theoretical value.
