AbstractChopping is a proficient way to reduce the low frequency offset and 1/f noise in amplifiers. In this paper, a low power low noise CMOS chopper amplifier is presented. It is composed of a two stage amplifier. The first stage’s high output impedance and the equivalent Miller capacitance of the second stage constitute together a low pass filter, which reduces the power consumption. The cir...

A four-device broadband solid-state power amplifier, which is based on radial waveguide power-dividing/combining circuit, has been investigated in this work. The fabricated power amplifier combining four monolithic microwave integrated circuit power amplifiers shows a 12–16.6 dB small-signal gain over a broadband from 6 to 14 GHz.

We present a single-frequency, single-mode, plane-polarized ytterbium-doped all-fiber master oscillator power amplifier source at 1060 nm generating 264 W of continuous-wave output power. The final-stage amplifier operated with a high gain of 19 dB and a high conversion efficiency of 68%. There was no evidence of rollover from stimulated Brillouin scattering even at the highest output power, an...

This paper reports the design, optimization, and test results of a mechanical amplifier coupled to an electromagnetic energy harvester to generate power from lowamplitude (±1 mm) and low-frequency (<5 Hz) vibrations in the presence of large static displacements. When coupled to a translational kinetic energy harvester, the amplifier boosts small vibration amplitudes by as much as 4x while accom...

the destructive impact of fading environments and also bandwidth limitations are two main challenges which communication is dealing with them. these challenges can affect on the growth of wireless communication and even cause reliable communications and high data rate to be prevented. thus, ofdm (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) modulation by using of fast calculation hardwares such ...
