What is a voltage follower Op-amp?

It is an amplifier that has no gain or a gain of one mainly used for isolation .


What are the importance of impedance matching in amplifiers?

Two reasons. 1...When impedance of source and destination match, power transfer is maximum. 2...If a long transmission line is involved, the characteristic impedance of the line must match the destination impedance, or reflections will occur on the line.


What is impedance coupled amplifier?

The purpose of impedance matching is to provide for the highest efficiency between either the stages of an amplifier circuit or from a device to the amplifier for the same purpose. Impedance matching us used to make the circuits compatible based on electrical characteristics of a particular circuit from one section (or stage) to the next.


How do you make an impedance- and level-matching transformer?

You'll need to decide *which* one you want. An impedance-matching transformer has a defined primary-to-secondary turns ratio. This *may* give the level match that you want, it may not. Alternately, you can design for a level match, which also *may* give the impedance ratio you want, it may not. It also has a defined turns ratio, but this may not meet an impedance-matching requirement. For impedance matching find the ratio of impedances, take its square root, and use that as the turns ratio: 2400 ohms to 600 ohms has an impedance ratio of 4:1, so its turns ratio will be (sqrt4) = 2:1. To level-shift 1.23 volts (+4 dB) to 300 mV (-10 dB), the ratio is (1.23/0.3) approx 4:1. From the above, you could match 2400 ohms to 600 ohms, but *not* +4 dB to -10 dB with the one transformer.


How can input impedance is made purely capacitive or inductive or zero or infinite?

By using a matching network, or filter (active or passive).

What is the need of impedance matching?

Impedance matching is setting the input impedance (load) equal to the fixed output impedance (source) to which it is connected, in order to maximize the power transfer.Matching is obtained when Zload = Zsource.In audio and sound engineering we have really no impedance matching. There is only impedance bridging. Zload >> Zsource.Scroll down to related links and look at "Impedance bridging - Wikipedia".


Why is impedance matching used in electronics?

Impedance matching is used in electronics to get an electronic device with an input and output source to work. Impedance matching will give the electronic it's maximum transfer of voltage. An example of this are FM radio receivers.

What is passive amplification?

What is meant by matching?

Impedance matching is the electronics design practice of setting the input impedance of an electrical load equal to the fixed output impedance of the signal source to which it is connected. That is done usually in order to maximize the power transfer and to minimize all reflections from the load. Zinput = Zoutput.


Can an impedance matching device reduce electrical costs?

An impedance matching device is used to test the resistance, inductive reactant and capacitive reactant in a circuit. If one component did not match the impedance of the conductor, some of the current will be lost by the conductors itself. In conclusion if electricity is lost, the component needs to meet its regular voltage. It consumes more voltage than expected because of the loss. Impedance matching device can actually reduce electrical cost.

How do you get input impedance and output impedance?

Look at "Different names for the two impedances Z1 and Z2": Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculation the damping of impedance bridging or power matching an interface connecting Zout and Zin". Scroll down to related links and look at "Measurement of input impedance and output impedance".


How a transformer can be used as impedance matching?

If the line impedance is Z0 and the load is ZL then connect the load using a transformer with N turns ration. N=sqrt(Z0/ZL)
