Publisher's Synopsis
An amplifier is an electronic device that increases the voltage, current, or power of a signal. Amplifiers are used in wireless communications and broadcasting, and in audio equipment of all kinds. The text Electronic Amplifiers for Automatic Compensators presents the design and operation of electronic amplifiers for use in automatic control and measuring systems. Various classes of nonnegative waveforms containing dc component, fundamental and kth harmonic (k ? 2), which proved to be of interest in waveform modelling for power amplifier (PA) design, are considered in first chapter. Second chapter provides a broad background in the development of biomedical engineering, and the recent contribution of electronics to this field. Third chapter discusses about hybrid fiber amplifier. Fundamentals of the Doherty power amplifier have been presented in fourth chapter. Fifth chapter presents a novel design scheme for distributed amplifiers (Das) suitable for frontend amplification in 40 and 100 Gb/s optical receivers. Sixth chapter deals with some interesting new applications in the field of analog signal processing focused on signal generation. The objective of seventh chapter is to propose a new active building block, namely, differential difference current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DDCCTA). In last chapter, we discuss a suitable scheme to characterize the linear amplification using nonlinear components (LINC) performance of class-E amplifier.
