Can anyone suggest an amplifier design that meets specific requirements?

In summary, AC23 is seeking help designing an amplifier with an overall voltage gain of 800, an input impedance of 200kOhms, an output impedance of 200 ohms, and a frequency band width of 10MHZ. They are looking for advice on what kind of arrangement of amps can possibly meet these requirements and are open to using either BJTs or MOSFETS. They have been reminded to post homework problems in the appropriate forum and to show their own work. Additionally, questions have been posed regarding their background and which type of component would be a better choice for the input impedance requirement.

Hey, I need to design an amplifier using either BJTs or MOSFETS (or both) that meets the following requirements:
Overall voltage gain: 800

Input impedance : 200Kohms

Output impedance: 200 ohms

Frequency band width: 10MHZ

Can anyone help me with what kind of arrangement of amps can possibly achieve those requirements?

Thanks!

Welcome to PF, AC23. This is a great place. Keep in mind that homework problems should be posted in the homework forums, and you need to show some of your own work in order to get us to help. We don't do your homework for you.

That having been said, what is your background? Is this for a 1st or 2nd year intro EE class? What have you learned so far in this class that you can use for this project? Would you think that a BJT or a MOSFET would be a better choice for the 200kOhm input impedance requirement?

Sure, there are a few different amplifier designs that could meet these requirements. One possible option could be a common emitter amplifier using BJTs. This type of amplifier can provide high voltage gain and can be designed to have a high input impedance. However, it may not be able to achieve the desired output impedance of 200 ohms, so additional buffering may be needed.

Another option could be a class AB push-pull amplifier using both BJTs and MOSFETs. This type of amplifier can provide high voltage gain, high input impedance, and can also be designed to have a low output impedance. However, it may not be able to achieve the desired frequency bandwidth of 10MHz, so careful component selection and design may be necessary.

Ultimately, the specific amplifier design will depend on a variety of factors such as power requirements, cost, and available components. It may be helpful to consult with an experienced engineer or do some research on different amplifier topologies to find the best fit for your specific requirements. Best of luck with your project!

1. What is a cascaded amplifier design?

A cascaded amplifier design is a circuit configuration where multiple amplifiers are connected in series to increase the overall gain of the system. This allows for a smaller, more efficient design compared to using a single amplifier with a high gain.

2. What are the advantages of using a cascaded amplifier design?

The main advantage of a cascaded amplifier design is the increased gain and improved signal-to-noise ratio. This allows for a higher quality output signal. Additionally, cascading amplifiers reduces the load on each individual amplifier, which can improve overall stability and reduce distortion.

3. How do I choose the appropriate amplifiers for a cascaded design?

When selecting amplifiers for a cascaded design, it is important to consider the input and output impedances, voltage and current requirements, and frequency response of each amplifier. It is also important to ensure that the amplifiers are compatible with each other to avoid any issues with signal compatibility.

4. What are some common challenges when designing a cascaded amplifier?

Some common challenges when designing a cascaded amplifier include managing signal loss and distortion, selecting appropriate coupling and bypass capacitors, and ensuring proper biasing for each amplifier. It is also important to consider the overall power consumption and thermal management of the system.

5. Are there any alternative designs to cascaded amplifiers?

Yes, there are alternative designs to cascaded amplifiers, such as using a single amplifier with a high gain or using a feedback loop to increase gain. However, these designs may not be as efficient or provide as much gain as a cascaded amplifier design.
