Efficiency 效率 Amplifier efficiency is the ratio of the output power delivered to the load, to the operating power supplied to the amplifier.放大器的效率是设备输出到负载上的功率与电源输入到设备上的功率的比值. For a dc-powered amplifier, the input power is the product of the power supply voltage and the drawn current. The current can be determined by measuring the voltage drop across a small known resistor in series with the supply current. 对于一个直流供电的放大器, 输入功率为电源供电电压与消耗电流的乘积. 消耗电流可以通过测量一个串联在电源上已知阻值的电阻上的电压降来确定. For an ac-powered amplifier, a power meter (watt meter) must be used to determined the supplied power. 对于一个交流供电的放大器,电源的功率可以用一个功率表(瓦特表)来确定. Summary 总结 Audio power amplifiers can be extensively tested using an audio analyzer, load resistors and mains power and watt meters. 使用音频分析仪, 负载阻抗,供电电源及瓦特表, 可以对音频功率放大器进行广泛地测量. With the appropriate filters, Class D audio amplifiers can be tested in the same way as linear audio amplifiers. 使用合适的滤波器, D类音频放大器可以用像线性音频放大器一样的方法来测量. Class A: linear, very good fidelity, active components “ON” for entire waveform, poor efficiency. Class B: Poor fidelity, active components “ON” for ? waveform. Good efficiency. In push-pull configuration, good fidelity, but crossover distortion. Class ABVariation of Class B push-pull, active components “ON” for ?+ waveform, good efficiency, little or no crossover distortion. * These will each be studied in detail throughout the morning, discussing how the measurement is made and the result is calculated, why the measurement is important and what the results mean. Each measurements will be run in real time on a test device. * * * * Noise (1) 噪音 Noise is a good place to start, since noise limits the performance of many other characteristics such as THD+N, crosstalk, power supply rejection ratio and so on. 噪音测量是一个良好的开端,因为噪音影响到其他许多参数的性能表现, 如THD+N,串扰,电源抑制比等. Noise typically increases with increased bandwidth, so noise measurements should always be bandwidth-limited. 通常噪音随着测量带宽的增加而增加,所以测量噪音应该限制测量带宽. Noise measurements are often made using a
