2. Main amplifier performances
The aim of this chapter is to introduce the main performances that will lead to the choice of amplifier architecture. They are detailed and evaluated according to their importance in the choice of architecture and design.
2.1 Introduction
An amplifier's performance, as described in its specification, can be divided into 4 main categories:
-
electrical characteristics :
frequency band and instantaneous band,
output power,
linearity,
noise emitted,
parasitic emissions,
power consumption,
...
