    Amplification at high frequencies

    I am trying to read high frequency signals (as in, tens to hundreds of Megahertz) from a magnetic tape. I figure the original preamp will be unable to function anywhere near that range. So, I am trying to find a way to replace it. I have yet to get an operational amplifier to work. I keep...

    Increase Current w/ Transistor Config | Common Collector

    Hello. When I short-circuit my power source/supply, I read 1.5 mA at 120+ VDC. For my purpose, the voltage is sufficient. However, I need to increase the amperage. I have been playing with amplifying the current using a transistor. However, my breadboarded attempts have all resulted in either...

    How Does Reverse Bias in Transistors Amplify Signals Despite High Resistance?

    Im studying basic electronics and transistor amplification is confusing me. Now I understand the basics of a npn\pnp transistor but here's what I don't get What I've read, says that the amplification occurs because the emitter base jn is forward biased and hence low resistance leading to a...

    RF Amplification: Is it a Bad Idea?

    My home is about 1.2KM LOS from work. I want to use my work's internet connection at home. I have a pole available as well. Right now from rooftop to rooftop, I do get a signal but it's weak and goes off sometimes. I'm using a 200MW wifi bridge. So at a recommendation of a friend, I got a 1watt...

    Amplification of an integrator and a differentiator

    Homework Statement The amplification of an integrator is: A = Vout/Vin = -Zf/Zin = +j * 1/(ωRC) The amplification of an differentiator is: A = Vout/Vin = -Zf/Zin = -jωRC Although, that's what my book says. Not that I doubt it.. But really, what do Zf, Zin, j...

    Would exonic primers affect gDNA amplification?

    Will a primer designed for an exonic sequence anneal and sucessfully amplify a gDNA strand? I'm having trouble amplifying gDNA using that primer. cDNA with that primer amplifies perfectly. I have no problem amplifying gDNA using another primer that anneals to intronic sequences.
