Default Critic of circuit before I build it.

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 need to measure a wide range of input signals,
get a logarithmic amplifier-detector chip, like AD8307.
There are good examples in the data sheet.

You may need a tuned circuit at the input to pick your frequency
of interest.
