The Doherty amplifier is a modified Electronic amplifier Class C class C radio frequency amplifier invented by William H. Doherty in 1936. The amplifier is usually configured as a grounded cathode, carrier peak amplifier. Using two vacuum tube s, or two power transistor s in modern implementations, one as a carrier tube and the other as a peak tube, the amplifier operates by cutting off the negative swing of the RF wave and adding it to the positive swing, greatly improving efficiency and wasting less energy than earlier plate modulated RF amplifiers. The amplifier s response is more linear than earlier designs, allowing it to respond to variations in RF power from the modulator more efficiently. Because the voltage and current of both tubes are present on the load, the amplifier constantly sees a varying load, which caused problems in early Doherty designs in balancing the tubes as early engineers didn t fully understand the amplifier s response characteristics. To balance the load more evenly between the carrier and peak tubes, an Inductor inductance is added between the two anodes to stabilize the load, allowing easier tuning of the amplifier.

A Class T amplifier is an audio amplifier IC design. Rather than being a separate class of amplifier, Class T is a registered trademark for Tripath s amplifier technologies. It is an implementation of Switching amplifier Class D amplifier s, but is claimed to improve the control scheme to create more efficient and higher quality audio amplification. One of the amplifiers, the TA2020, was named one of the twenty five chips that shook the world by the IEEE Spectrum magazine. ref http spectrum.ieee.org semiconductors processors 25 microchips that shook the world 0 ref The control signals in Class T amplifiers may be computed using digital signal processing or fully analog techniques. Currently available implementations use a loop similar to a higher order Delta sigma modulation Delta Sigma or sigma delta modulator, with an internal digital clock to control the sampled comparator. The two key aspects of this topology are that 1 , feedback is taken directly from the switching node rather than the filtered output, and 2 , the higher order loop provides much higher loop gain at high audio frequencies than would be possible in a conventional single pole amplifier. Despite Tripath s claimed increased performance at a price similar to class D technology, financial difficulties caused Tripath to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on 8 February 2007.

In electronics, a distribution amplifier or simply distribution amp, is a device that accepts a single input signal and provides this same signal to multiple isolated outputs. These devices are important because they allow a signal to be distributed to multiple destinations without Ground loop electricity ground loops or signal degradation. They are used for a number of common engineering tasks, including multiple amplification, cable television , splitting monitor and front of house mixes, and tapping a signal prior to sending it through effects units to preserve a dry signal for later experimentation. Video distribution amplifier A Video Distribution Amplifier also known as a distribution amp or VDA is a type of electronic equipment that takes a video signal as an input, amplifies it, and outputs the amplified video signal to two or more outputs. It is primarily used to supply a single video signal to multiple pieces of video equipment. Function Video signals can suffer deterioration over relatively short cable distances. To compensate for that loss, a Video Distribution Amplifier VDA is used. A VDA adjusts the amplitude of a video signal to compensate for loss of signal in a video distribution system. Extending the distance of the signal of the video signal is the main purpose of the VDA. There are VDAs built for all video formats, NTSC , ATSC , QAM16, QAM32, QAM64, Composite Video and Component Video . Their construction and capabilities can be simple accept input signal, amplify, then output. Others can be more sophisticated that allow remote control from a control station, allow adjustment of the gain, equalization, and provide status of the input and output signals through Ethernet networks.

Wikify date January 2011 In electronics , an antenna amplifier , also called antenna preamplifier , antenna preamp or antenna booster , is a device that amplifies an antenna signal , usually into an output with the same impedance as the input impedance. Typically 75 Ohm for coaxial cable and 300 Ohm for twin lead cable . An antenna amplifier allows a weak radio signal to be detected, thus most devices that receive radio wave s already have an RF amplifier stage in the front end that amplifies the antenna signal. The best is to only use a amplifier as close to the Antenna radio antenna as possible with the highest gain in the area that you are interested in receiving UHF with the lowest possible noise and both at a reasonable cost. The KEY is that you want a relative good level of input at your receiver TV with the minimum noise. A mast mounted amplifier doesn t matter if it is called a amplifier or preamplifier is the best when you are in a remote area. In theory it is best if you amplify a clean signal to a higher level than a noisy signal to a higher level. All cable has loss and the higher up that you go in frequency VHF to UHF the more loss that the cable has. If you start with a low level signal at the antenna and then butt it into coax cable, you are going to have less come out at the other end than went into it from the antenna. The amount of loss depends upon a number of factors, cable type and cable length are the two most important. Cable is rated in db loss per 100 at X MHz frequency . RG 6 cable is the cable most used in TV use. Like all things there is good RG6 and not so good. as a example, Belden Inc.

Integrated amplifiers commonly had dedicated inputs for Phonograph turntable s, Amplitude modulation AM FM tuner radio tuner , and tape recorders cassette deck cassette or Reel to reel audio tape recording reel to reel back when those devices were more common. Except for the turntable, all of the inputs are line level , thus they are interchangeable. The turntable also uses RIAA equalization .

In electric industries, an inductive amplifier is a type of electrical tester pen that does not require Direct current DC electrical contact to detect an Alternating current AC wire under voltage. The conventional use of the inductive amplifier is the location of breaks in hidden wires, even buried in concrete. The typical wire detection range in a concrete wall is 10 20 cm. One of the manufacturers of the inductive amplifier is Tempo. ref cite web url http www.calcentron.com Pages tempo tempo inductive amplifiers.htm title Inductive Amplifiers by Tempo, Progressive Electronics, Greenlee ref Inductive amplifiers can also be used to find an individual cable pair in a telephone cross connect or cable head when used in conjunction with a tone generator. ref cite web url http www.lashen.com vendors tempo toners probes.asp title Toners and Probes by Tempo and available from Lasheen Electronics. ref References references electronics stub Category Electronics work tools ... more details

A cascade amplifier is any amplifier constructed from a series of amplifiers, where each amplifier sends its output to the input of the next amplifier in a daisy chain . ref http www.innovatia.com Design Center Amplifier Circuits.htm Innovatia amplifier circuits ref A cascade is basically a differential amplifier with one input grounded and the side with the real input has no load. It can also be seen as a common collector emitter follower followed by a common base . Since the input side has no load there is no gain on that side and the Miller effect does not come into play. In addition, Vds or Vce stays fairly constant which reduces distortion. Its advantage over the cascode is that it does not require as much voltage headroom. Its disadvantage is since it has two legs it requires twice as much current as a cascode for similar performance. The complication in calculating the gain of cascaded stages is the non ideal coupling between stages due to loading. Two cascaded common emitter stages are shown below. Because the input resistance of the second stage forms a voltage divider with the output resistance of the first stage, the total gain is not the product of the individual separated stages. Image Cascadeamplifier.jpg right frame Cascaded amplifier,a simplified diagram The total voltage gain can be calculated in either of two ways. First way the gain of the first stage is calculated including the loading of R sub i2 sub . Then the second stage gain is calculated from the output of the first stage. Because the loading output divider was accounted for in the first stage gain, the second stage gain input quantity is the Q2 base voltage, V sub B2 sub V sub o1 sub . Second way ... is the Thevenin equivalent voltage, not the actual collector voltage of the stage connected amplifier ... stage followed by an emitter follower CC stage, a good voltage amplifier results. The CE input resistance ... put the amplifier with the biggest gain first in the series. References references Category Electronics ... more details
