These transistors act as high frequency signal small signals in the presence of large common mode detectors, in the same way diodes were used as RF voltages or high levels of noise. Typically, the sources of envelope detectors in early radio designs. Regardless of these very small signals (on the order of microvolts or the type of interference or the method by which it is millivolts) are sensors that can be a significant distance coupled into the circuit, an out-of-band error signal ap- from the signal conditioning circuit.
