Module 8—Introduction to Amplifiers
Pages i - ix, 1-1 to 1-10, 1-11 to 1-20, 1-21 to 1-30, 1-31 to 1-40, 2-1 to 2-10, 2-11 to 2-20, 2-21 to 2-30, 2-31 to 2-35, 3-1 to 3-10, 3-11 to 3-20, 3-21 to 3-30, 3-31 to 3-40, 3-41 to 3-50, 3-51 to 3-60, 3-61 to 3-70, AI-1 to AI-3, Index COMBINATION PEAKING is accomplished by using both series and shunt peaking.
LOW-FREQUENCY COMPENSATION is accomplished in a video amplifier by the use of a parallel RC circuit in series with the load resistor.
2-31 A RADIO-FREQUENCY (RF) AMPLIFIER uses FREQUENCY-DETERMINING NETWORKS to provide the required response at a given frequency.
The FREQUENCY-DETERMINING NETWORK in an RF amplifier provides maximum impedance at the desired frequency. It is a parallel LC circuit which is called a TUNED CIRCUIT
TRANSFORMER COUPLING is the most common form of coupling in RF amplifiers. This coupling is accomplished by the use of RF transformers as part of the frequency-determining network for the amplifier.
2-32 ADEQUATE BANDPASS is accomplished by optimum coupling in the RF transformer or by the use of a SWAMPING RESISTOR. NEUTRALIZATION in an RF amplifier provides feedback (usually positive) to overcome the effects caused by the base-to-collector interelectrode capacitance.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The Internet was still largely an unknown entity at the time and not much was available in the form of WYSIWYG ...
