What are the Different Types of RF Amplifiers? Part-2
This is the second part of a two-part blog series dedicated to providing a brief explanation of the various types of RF amplifiers with highlights of pertinent applications. This section includes more specialty amplifier types that are still widely used throughout the RF/microwave/millimeter-wave industries. Limiting RF Amplifier Gain Block Amplifier (GBA) Gain block amplifiers are much like...
What are the Different Types of RF Amplifiers? Part-1
RF Amplifiers are used to add power to an RF signal. The type of RF amplifier used depends on where in the signal chain that a higher gain signal is needed. The input and output characteristics of an RF amplifier dictate the appropriate use of a given amplifier, and this is why there are several varieties of RF amplifiers for each potential use case. The following is part 1 of a two-part brief...
