7.1.7.3 Errors RTO and RTI

As with any transfer function, errors generated by the function can be Referred-to-Output (RTO) or Referred-to-Input (RTI). logarithmic amplifiers have a unique property that the error voltage at the output corresponds to a constant percentage of the input, regardless of the actual input level.
