Study Notes
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
- CMRR measures the ability of an amplifier to reject common-mode signals, ensuring that it amplifies only the desired differential signal.
- Defined mathematically as the ratio of differential-mode gain to common-mode gain: (CMRR = \frac{|A_d|}{|A_c|}).
Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)
- VSWR quantifies the efficiency of power transmission in a circuit.
- It is defined as the ratio of output noise to input noise, indicating the amount of reflected power in a system.
Multivibrators
- A multivibrator is an electronic circuit that generates various frequencies, making it essential in electronics design.
- Common applications include:
- Timing circuits which are vital for precise time delays.
- Delay circuits used in various control systems.
- Oscillators that produce continuous repetitive signals.
Inverting and Non-Inverting Operational Amplifiers (Op-amps)
- Inverting Op-amp:
- Produces an output signal that is inverted or out of phase with the input signal.
- Non-Inverting Op-amp:
- Generates an output signal that is in phase with the input signal.
- Ideal characteristics of Op-amps include:
- Zero input current, ensuring no power drain from the source.
- Infinite input impedance, leading to minimal loading on previous stages.
- Infinite gain, allowing for maximum amplification of the signal.
