A linear electronic device is one where output is linearly proportional, in some way, to input. An example is an amplifier. A non-linear device is one where the input drives the circuit into some kind of saturation mode. An example is a switch, such as is used in TTL IC's.
An amplifier is an electronic device used to increase the amplitude of electrical signals in sound production.
analog device
It's an op amp (operational amplifier) with a linear response, meaning that double the input means double the output.
A: THE WORD IS LINEAR. yes it is not a very linear device as a function of current

the approximate efficiency of a class b linear RF AM amplifier is 35%
There are many examples of these. I would compare a linear device as a device giving a linear output as a result of the input. This can be an amplifier or simply the circuits that makes up the amplifier. A non-linear device could be a computer chip or a logic chip that is either on or off (only 2 stages) on both input and output. Some devices combine linear and non linear working modes. A typical OpAmp has got 2 inputs that can vary, where as the output is either On (close to input voltage of the circuit) or Off (close to input negative voltage or GND of the circuit) Other forms of linearities can be within a single transistor. It may have a linear voltage curve. This curve can also be non linear. This most often very dependent upon temperature.
ugly A. A chip that will perform in a linear fashion like an amplifier
UJT(UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR) is a three-lead electronic-semiconductor device with only one junction that exclusively as an eletrically controlled swtich andit is not used as a linear amplifier.
A: feedback is not an application but rather is a must to keep a system or amplifier stable in the linear regions
YES it is linear. It is a passive device classified as linear however as frequency increases its behavior will change.
If you feed a sine wave through an amplifier that isn't exactly linear, the output will be distorted, not a pure sine wave. Distortion is the defect where the output from a device does not mirror the input.
A instrumentation amplifier is a special purpose linear amplifier used to amplify low level signals. These are used in many industrial and medical applications.
low power linear amplifiers
An amplifier is an electronic device used to increase the amplitude of electrical signals in sound production.
since the diode shows its characteristics in a non linearly it is called as nonlinear element since the transistor shows its characteristics in a linear way it s called as linear element Transistors are typically operated in their linear region (such as when used in amplifier circuits), or as switches (where you will in general ignore the nonlinearity of the transistor). Transistors are typically DC biased to operate in this linear region. Diodes are not biased in this way. Strictly speaking, both are nonlinear devices, although transistors can be used in their linear operation region, while diodes are not.
