The distortion performance of an amplifier is determined not only by open loop linearity, but also the negative feedback factor applied when the loop is closed. In most practical circumstances ...

The previous two chapters considered closely the distortion produced by amplifier output stages: a basically conventional but well designed Class-B amplifier with proper precautions taken against the ...

The design and modelling of power amplifiers are central to advancing high-frequency applications, including wireless communication, radar, and satellite systems. In these devices, accurately ...

A tough challenge for test engineers is explored in terms of test methods, pitfalls, and measurement errors. For the test engineer, RF and microwave power amplifier testing imposes unique challenges.

Two things have been overlooked with phasing amplitude modulation. One is the importance of pulse modulation; the other is that logic gates can be used for analog signal processing. Both of these ...

Learn how power amplifiers work, the common types, and what to lookout for when shopping for amps. You have to find out if the amplifier is a Class A/B analog amp or a Class D digital amplifier before ...

As you can see, there are a number of variables and the answer is simply not that straight forward. When conducting amplifier measurements, we tend to be a bit more forgiving with receivers than multi ...
