4. A low-noise amplifier has a resistive source of 50 ohms and operates at standard temperature of 290 K. The amplifier has a noise temperature of 120 K and a noise-effective- bandwidth of 50 kHz. a) What is the noise power available from the source at the input of the amplifier. Give your results in dBm? b) How much noise power is added by the amplifier ? Give your results in dBm. c) If the amplifier has a gain of 15 dB, and a -120 dBm signal is applied to the input of the amplifier, what is the SNR in dB at the output of the amplifier? d) What is the overall noise figure in dB? e) How much signal power in dBm is available at the output of the amplifier?
Power Amplifier
The power amplifier is an electronic amplifier designed to maximize the signal strength of a given input. The input signal strength is enhanced to a high enough level to drive output devices such as speakers, headphones, RF (Radio frequency) transmitters, etc. Unlike voltage / current amplifiers, the power amplifier is designed to drive core loads directly and is used as a storage block in the amplifier series.
Maximum Efficiency Criterion
In every field of engineering, there is a tremendous use of the machine and all those machines are equipped for their popular work efficiency so it very much important for operation engineers to monitor the efficiency of the machine, planning engineers to check out the efficiency of the machine before installing the machine and design engineers to design machine for higher efficiency than and then the utility will procure their products that will ultimately lead to profit and loss of the company. It indicates the importance of efficiency right from the initial stage as manufacturing units, intermediate stage as planning coordinators, and end-users stage as a utility.
