I'm about to build this circuit to compare output from different
ferrite receive antennas. I will be using it with the the FET amplifier
referenced at the bottom of the page, so the input impedance is not a
concern. I'm mostly interested in the DC output to monitor signal
levels. AM band frequencies.

Any fix for the sinewave distortion in the second and third scope traces.

If you really want to be linear for small voltages at ferrite rod frequencies
then a small opamp diode detector would be a lot better.
