Gain Considerations in Amplifiers.pptVIP

The Maximum Gain at Bilateral Case ?When K=1, we obtain the maximum stable gain 3. Gain Considerations in Amplifiers 3.1 Power Gain Concepts Definition of power levels PIN: Power input to the transistor or to the input matching network. PAVS: Power available from the source under matched condition. PL: Power delivered to the load or the output matching network. PAVN: Power available from the transistor under matched condition. 3.1 Power Gain Concepts 3.1 Definition of Power Gain Transducer power gain Operating power gain Available power gain Transducer Gain or where Transducer Gain Equation 13.1 can also be written in terms of ГOUT as Operating Power Gain and Available Power Gain Operating power gain Available power gain where 3.2 Gain for Unilateral Transistor Condition , thus, Where The Mismatch Factor Source mismatch factor Load mismatch factor The Mismatch Factor Relationship of the mismatch factor and VSWR Input-port VSWR The Mismatch Factor Output-port VSWR Example 13.1 3.3 Maximum Gain Design How to obtain maximum gain for an amplifier ?(1) G0 is fixed for any given transistor. ?(2) Overall gain of the amplifier is controlled by the GS and GL corresponding to the input and output matching network. ? 3.3 Maximum gain design (3) In order to obtain the maximum gain for an amplifier, the input-port and output-port must be conjugate matched, i.e. 3.3 Maximum gain design 3.3 Maximum gain design Unilateral case S12=0 where 3.3 Maximum gain design For the maximum gain, the input port and output port must be conjugally matched Thus 3.4 Constant Gain Circles Normalized gain factor gs and gL 3.4 Constant Gain Circles From The constant gain circles can be described as following 3.4 Constant Gain Circles The center and radius for each of the two circles are given by: 3.4 Constant Gain Circles 3.4 Constant Gain Circles Observations Maximum gain condition 3.4
