The -3dB point is the point of half power. In a filter, the -3dB point, more commonly called the half-power point, is the point where the output power is one half the input power. A bandpass filter has two half-power points, and the distance between them is called the bandwidth, whereas a low-pass or high-pass filter has one half-power point, which is called the cutoff frequency. In terms of voltage, the half-power point is where the voltage is 0.707 (1 / square root(2)) of the input voltage.

Why consider only 3dB for bandwidth calculation?

3dB of gain rolloff is a linear reduction of gain by a factor of 2. That makes it a good reference point.


What is invertion?

An inverting amplifier is one where the output is an inverted function of the input. The Class A transistor amplifier, also known as common-emitter, is inverting. As you increase the voltage on the base, the output voltage on the collector decreases. The operational amplifier has an inverting and a non-inverting input. In typical bridge mode, the output is inverted with respect to the (inverting) input, and the non-inverting input is used to reject common-mode input signals by moving the virtual ground point as needed.

What are subtractor op amplifier?

The circuit that takes the difference of two signals is called a subtractor. It is made by connecting an inverting amplifier to a two-input inverting averager.


How do you calculate gain of an inverting and non-inverting OP-Amp configuration?

gain in an op-amp is the output voltage divided by input voltage. for the inverting amplifier , gain(Av)=-(Rf/Ri) ,where Rf => resistance of the feedback path & Ri=> inverting input terminal resistance for the non-inverting amplifier , gain(Av)=(1+(Rf/Ri)) , where Rf => same & Ri=> non inverting input terminal resisance


Which is faster inverting or non inverting amplifier?

A: In the linear region both configuration are similar but if allowed to saturate the timing coming out will be different.


What is meant by non inverting amplifier?

There is no such thing as an inverting or a non-inverting op amp.All op amps have both an inverting input and a non-inverting input. Their operation is such that the output will go to whatever value is required to make both inputs be the same. This implies feedback from output to inverting input.


What is Op-Amp non inverting amplifier?

When the feedback of the output terminal of an Op-Amp is given to the non-inverting terminal [pin 3 for IC-741] of that Op-Amp , then , that circuit is called non-inverting amplifier using Op-Amp. This circuit is called non-inverting because the output signal of this circuit is in phase with the input signal.


Why is non inverting summing amplifier using op amp not used?

It is not true. The non-inverting summing amplifier is used all the time. It is an excellent Analog Signal Processing circuit. As an example, the bipolar to unipolar converter can be designed with a non-inverting summing amplifier.See Related links below for more information.
