Lesson 2Introduction to Amplifiers An Example of Application of Amplifiers Representation as a Two-Port Network
Application of Thevenin’s Theorem:Microphone 5 mA peak 10 kW 50 mV peak To load Microphone 10-kW output impedance 50 mV peak
Application of Thevenin’s Theorem:Cone Speaker 3 amps peak + 24 volts peak _ 8 W Cone speaker 36 watts RMS 8 ohms nominal Pav = ½ Vpk Ipk Vpk = R Ipk
Example of Application of Amplifiers Two-port Network 5 mA peak 3 A peak 10 k W Amplifier 50 mV peak 8 W microphone speaker Voltage amplification > 480 Current amplification > 6 x 105
Example Problem 1 In the two-port system, the power output to an 8 W load is to be 72 W when the signal source produces 110 mV. The source resistance is 10 kW and the input resistance to the two-port is 100 kW. Calculate the voltage gain, the current gain, and the power gain of the two-port.
Example Problem 2 The input voltage to a two-port is vin(t) = 2.5 sin(2000pt+p/6) mV and the output is vout(t) = 10sin(2000pt-2p/3) V. The load resist- ance is 10 W and the input resistance to the two-port is 100 kW. Determine the voltage gain and the current gain.
