In today’s information-driven society, there’s an ever-increasing preference to measure phenomena such as temperature, pressure, light, force, voltage and current. These measurements can be used in a ...

The common source amplifier is one of three basic single-stage amplifier topologies. The MOS version functions as an inverting voltage amplifier. The gate terminal of the transistor serves as the ...

Have you ever wondered how your favorite songs can fill an entire room with sound? The secret lies in a device called an amplifier. As you plug in your music player or instrument, this electronic ...

Abstract: We present a compendium of generalized expressions for the low-frequency voltage gain and terminal impedances of each of the three fundamental bipolar-amplifier topologies (i.e., common ...

In this tutorial, we will show how, under certain conditions, a PNP transistor is equivalent to a single PN junction with a voltage-current characteristic appropriately shifted on the positive ...

ABSTRACT: In a given linear, multistage, cascaded amplifier [1] comprising passive coupling circuits and active two-ports alternatively, the problem is where in the amplifier the stabilizing circuit ...

The circuit below shows a 4-transistor utility amplifier suitable for a variety of projects including receivers, intercoms, microphones, telephone pick-up coils, and general audio monitoring. The ...

Over the last few years, the development of transistor technologies with maximum frequency of oscillation, fMAX, beyond 1 THz has driven amplifier operating frequencies into the sub-millimeter-wave ...

ABSTRACT: The DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting—Terrestrial) standard is being deployed in many parts of the world for digital broadcasting services, providing a variety of features extending the ...

Higher-power discrete transistors translate into fewer active devices and their associated matching circuits, power combiners, and other components for a given power level in an amplifier circuit.
