mainly it is used in receiver, and repeater station

Re: Amplifier

hi,

An amplifier is any device that will convert a signal with a small amount of energy) into a another signal with a larger amount of energy.

Re: Amplifier

The amplifier increase the amplitude of a signal.

Re: Amplifier

An amplifier refer to any device that amplifies a voltage or current . you can study electronic simple books to be more familier

Amplifier

An Amplifier may be a boosting amplitude device.for example Class A, B, C amlifiers.
similarly it can be a logic definder, a logic comparator.
it is used in the analog communication

Re: Amplifier

Hai kumaradithya85

Amplifier is basically used to increse the amptitude of the signal
and basically class a, class b, class c, class d, are four class of amplifiers
Operational amplifier, Summing amplifiers are used in different application's

Here are some pdf for your understanding.

Basic operation of operational amplifier

The amplifier's differential inputs consist of an inverting input and a non-inverting input, and ideally the op-amp amplifies only the difference in voltage between the two. This is called the "differential input voltage". In its most common use, the op-amp's output voltage is controlled by feeding a fraction of the output signal back to the inverting input. This is known as negative feedback. If that fraction is zero, i.e., there is no negative feedback, the amplifier is said to be running "open loop" and its output is the differential input voltage multiplied by the total gain of the amplifier, as shown by the following equation:


where V+ is the voltage at the non-inverting terminal, V− is the voltage at the inverting terminal and G is the total open-loop gain of the amplifier.

Because the magnitude of the open-loop gain is typically very large and not well controlled by the manufacturing process, op-amps are not usually used without negative feedback. Unless the differential input voltage is extremely small, open-loop operation results in op-amp saturation (see below in Nonlinear imperfections). An example of how the output voltage is calculated when negative feedback exists is shown below in Basic non-inverting amplifier circuit.

Another typical configuration of op-amps is the positive feedback, which takes a fraction of the output signal back to the non-inverting input. An important application of it is the comparator with hysteresis
