A class-A amplifier is defined as an amplifier that is biased so that the output current flows at all times. Thus, the input signal-drive level to the amplifier is kept small enough to avoid driving ...
Power operational amplifiers (POPs) are becoming increasingly common in control circuitry. Their primary advantages over conventional amplifiers are reduced part counts, increased reliability, and ...
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.
