  • Essay about low noise amplifier and design

    ...LNA Design Iulian Rosu, YO3DAC / VA3IUL http://www.qsl.net/va3iul/ An LNA combines a low noise figure, reasonable gain, and stability without oscillation over entire useful frequency range. The Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) always operates in Class A, typically at 15-20% of its maximum useful current. Class A is characterized by a bias point more or less at the center of maximum current and voltage capability of the device used, and by RF current and voltages that are sufficiently small relative to the bias point that the bias point does not shift. The smallest signal that can be received by a receiver defines the receiver sensitivity. The largest signal can be received by a receiver establishes the upper power level limit of what can be handled by the system while preserving voice or data quality. The dynamic range of the receiver, the difference between the largest possible received signal and the smallest possible received signal, defines the quality of the receiver chain. The LNA function, play an important role in the receiver designs. Its main function is to amplify extremely low signals without adding noise, thus preserving the required Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the system at extremely low power levels. Additionally, for large signal levels, the LNA amplifies the received signal without introducing any distortions, which eliminates channel interference. • An LNA...

    ...AMPLIFIER An amplifier is an electronic device increases the amplitude of a small signal to a useful level, even maintaining small signal’s detail. This is known as Linearity. FIGURES OF MERIT 1) Gain: Ratio between the magnitude of output and input signals. 2) Bandwidth: The Width of the useful frequency range. 3) Efficiency: The ratio between the power of the output and total power consumption. 4) Linearity: The degree of proportionality between input and output. 5) Noise: A measure of undesired noise mixed into the output. 6) Output Dynamic Range: The ratio of the largest and the smallest useful output levels. 7) Slew Rate: The maximum rate of change of the output. 8) Rise Time: Characterize the step response. 9) Stability: The ability to avoid self-oscillation. AMPLIFIER GAIN The measure of how much an amplifier “amplifies” the input signal, found by observing the difference between the input and output signals is known as the Gain of amplifier. Amplifier gain can be calculated by the ratio of output divided-by the input. AMPLIFIER CLASSES Audio power amplifiers are classified in an alphabetical order according to their circuit configurations and the mode of operation. These different amplifier classes range from a non-linear output with low efficacy to a non-linear output with...

    ... Munchausen syndrome is a serious mental disorder in which someone with a deep need for attention pretends to be sick or gets sick or injured on purpose. People with Munchausen syndrome may make up symptoms, push for risky operations, or try to rig laboratory test results to try to win sympathy and concern. Munchausen syndrome belongs to a group of conditions, called factitious disorders, which are either made up or self-inflicted. Factitious disorders can be psychological or physical. Munchausen syndrome refers to the most severe and chronic physical form of factitious disorder. Munchausen syndrome is a mysterious and hard to treat disorder. However, medical help is critical for preventing serious injury and even death caused by the self-harm typical of Munchausen syndrome. Munchausen syndrome is related to Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which refers to the abuse of another person, typically a child, in order to seek attention or sympathy for the abuser. It is an obsessive want to create symptoms for the victim in order to obtain repeated medication or even operations. What Are Symptoms Of Munchausen Syndrome?? People with this syndrome deliberately produce or exaggerate symptoms in several ways. They might lie about or fake symptoms, hurt themselves to bring on symptoms, or alter diagnostic tests. Something simple such as contaminating a urine sample. Possible warning signs of Munchausen syndrome include the following: • Dramatic but inconsistent medical history...

  • Dc Power Supply Design Essay

    ... Abstract: The main aim of this assignment is to design a pre amplifier circuit with an NPN transistor to be used in a simple public address (PA) system. The pre amplifier is fed from a microphone that produces an average output voltage of 10 mV rms. The amplifier is to operate over a frequency range of 300 Hz to 5 kHz and should have an adjustable volume control. The expected gain of the amplifier is 100. First we are going to design an amplifier for given specifications, model the operation of the circuit using h-parameter and r-parameter model, use computer aided design software to analyze the circuit performance and demonstrate the working of the circuit by hardware implementation. Then, we will plot the frequency response of the circuit and analyze the effect of the emitter bypass capacitor. Finally we will compare the mid-band gain, bandwidth and lower cutoff frequency obtained from the simulation result and the hardware implementation with the designed values. Chapter 1 Introduction: Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) is a three terminal device with three regions (Emitter, Base and Collector) and two PN junctions (Emitter-Base junction and Base-Collector junction). Since there are two junctions that means there are four possible ways of biasing a transistor. If both junctions are forward biased then the transistor will operate in the...

  • Essay on Multistage Amplifiers

    ...DEFINITION: An amplifier with two or more stages arranged in a manner that the output of one serves as the input for the next, while amplifying at each step. It is also called cascade amplifier. EXPLANATION: In most of the cases the gain provided by a single stage amplifier stage is insufficient. Consequently two or more amplifier stages are cascaded in order to increase the gain. Several amplifiers can be connected in a cascaded arrangement with the output of one amplifier driving the input of the next. Each amplifier in cascaded arrangement is known as stage. The basic purpose of multistage arrangement is to increase the voltage gain. It is understood that combining amplifiers of various types we can create those characteristics that are necessary to fulfill the specifications of a specific application. GAIN FOR MULTISTAGE: The overall gain of a multistage amplifier is the product of the gains of the individual stages (ignoring potential loading effects): Gain (A) = A1* A2*A3 *A4 *... *An. Alternately, if the gain of each amplifier stage is expressed in decibels (dB), the total gain is the sum of the gains of the individual stages: Gain in dB (A) = A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 + ... An BANDWIDTH: The cascading in amplifiers obviously increases the gain. At the same time it also affects the bandwidth of an...

  • Design of Gsm Based Power Management Essay

    ...Abstract Monitoring of power has been a neglected area in developing countries particularly, Nigeria. Most of these developing countries have always been facing the problem of irregular power supply not because they do not have the capacity to generate the required electricity supply but failure to manage or monitor power consumption by their appliances. The lack of power management result in the development of a GSM based power management system. This system allows monitoring and control power consumption by household appliances. The GSM technology is well deployed in most developed countries due to its features like easy interfacing with appliances via radio frequency, accessibility at remote area. In this paper, software and hardware were developed. The software allows the user of the system to request for an action from the hardware components. The micro-controller is connected with GSM and relays each of which controls its connected power outlets. GSM – based power management is convenient, more secure, less costly and user – friendly for end user. It is very useful in the area of power management. Keyword: GSM, Power, Network, Electricity. Introduction Power management has been an area of neglect mostly in the developing nations of the world. Most developing countries have always been batling...
