input signal amplifier
1Amplifier — For other uses, see Amplifier (disambiguation). Generally, an amplifier or simply amp, is a device for increasing the power of a signal. In popular use, the term usually describes an electronic amplifier, in which the input signal is usually a… …
2amplifier — /am pleuh fuy euhr/, n. 1. a person or thing that amplifies or enlarges. 2. an electronic component or circuit for amplifying power, current, or voltage. [1540 50; AMPLIFY + ER1] * * * Device that responds to a small input signal (voltage,… …
3amplifier — 1. A device that increases the magnification of a microscope. 2. An electronic apparatus that increases the strength of input signals. image a. a device for converting a low light level fluoroscopic …
4Signal-flow graph — A signal flow graph (SFG) is a special type of block diagram[1] and directed graph consisting of nodes and branches. Its nodes are the variables of a set of linear algebraic relations. An SFG can only represent multiplications and additions.… …
5Electronic amplifier — A practical amplifier circuit An electronic amplifier is a device for increasing the power of a signal. It does this by taking energy from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude. In… …
6Operational amplifier — A Signetics μa741 operational amplifier, one of the most successful op amps. An operational amplifier ( op amp ) is a DC coupled high gain electronic voltage amplifier with a differential input and, usually, a single ended output.[1] An op amp… …
7Guitar amplifier — Mesa Boogie Mark IV, a guitar combo amplifier A guitar amplifier (or guitar amp) is an electronic amplifier designed to make the signal of an electric or acoustic guitar louder so that it will produce sound through a loudspeaker. Most guitar… …
8Differential amplifier — symbol The inverting and non inverting inputs are distinguished by − and + symbols (respectively) placed in the amplifier triangle. Vs+ and Vs− are the power supply voltages; they are often omitted from the diagram for simplicity, but of course… …
9Logarithmic video amplifier — A logarithmic video amplifier or LVA is typically part of radar and electronic countermeasures microwave systems and sonar navigation systems, used to convert a very large dynamic range input power to an output voltage that increases… …
10Buffer amplifier — A buffer amplifier (sometimes simply called a buffer) is one that provides electrical impedance transformation from one circuit to another. Two main types of buffer exist: the voltage buffer and the current buffer. Figure 1: Top: Ideal voltage… …
