The 800-mW NESG250134 and 1W NESG260234 medium-power SiGe (silicon-germanium) HBT (heterojunction-bipolar-transistor) amplifiers suit use in two-way radio applications, such as FRS (Family Radio ...

Last time on Circuit VR, we looked at creating a very simple common emitter amplifier, but we didn’t talk about how to select the capacitor values, or much about why we wanted them. We are going to ...

Learn how power amplifiers work, the common types, and what to lookout for when shopping for amps. You have to find out if the amplifier is a Class A/B analog amp or a Class D digital amplifier before ...

NEC is now offering a 2-W SiGe HBT transistor amplifier for two-way radio applications including FRS, GMRS, and SMR, as well as general UHF and ISM band applications. NEC is now offering a 2-W SiGe ...

Two of the most often used amplifier building blocks in audio amplifier design are the common emitter amplifier with emitter degeneration and the emitter follower using the same circuit biasing. The ...

It may not be to everyone's taste, but this brand new monobloc amplifier from McIntosh cleverly blends both vacuum tube and solid-state technology in one chassis. If you’re not a serious audiophile ...

If you know anything about a transistor, it’s probably that it’s a three terminal device whose output pin forms part of a potential divider whose state is dependent on what is presented to its input ...

Liam Devlin and Andy Dearn describe the design of a 25W X-band gallium nitride (GaN) power amplifier. Gallium nitride (GaN) technology is very well suited to the realisation of solid-state microwave ...
