Amplifiers
R. Khazaka
8
Linear Amplifiers • Multiply amplitude of a signal by a constant scalar quantity i.e. • Non-scalar or non-uniform amplification is called distortion Distorted Output Undistorted Output Input
R. Khazaka
•
Only the signal portion of the input is amplified by the amplifier • DC component may be shifted up or down

Linear Amplifiers
• Ideally a linear amplifier multiplies the input with a constant regardless of the amplitude. • Real amplifiers have power supplies that limit the amplitude of the output, leading to gain saturation for large inputs.

Amplifier Gain
Amplifier with positive gain
Amplifier with negative gain
• To operate amplifier in its linear region, the input must be kept small enough R. Khazaka

Operating Point • Realistic transfer characteristic:
• Each circle represents a different DC component for the input and output signals – called an operating point • Location of operating point has an effect on – input signal range – amplifier gain magnitude – amount of distortion

Types of Amplifiers Amplifiers can be classified based on types of input and output signals.
