Comments on Impedance Impedance A thorough discussion of impedance is given below. In summary a signal source can be characterized by an impedance and your input can be characterized by an impedance. These relate current and voltage and so can be used to understand circuit response. In this view we establish one part of the circuit as the source, the first stage in our circuit. The source feeds the second stage at the input. This second stage can then subsequently function as a source for a load or some other input to the next bit of circuitry. One can analyze the impact of current on voltage or voltage on current using impedance. source Input Load etc. In particular transistors have the ability to appear to the source as a large impedance [very little current (power)necessary to establish a voltage] and then serve as a source for a load where the output voltage is maintained even with a large current draw. Out/In impedance allows for a general understanding but many devices will have active components such as transistors that make the actual response more complex. For output/input impedance one can usually put output and input (load) in series and treat it as part of a voltage divider in order to find the voltages and currents. Impedance analysis allows one to maximize power, or voltage transmitted from a source to an input. wiki thoughts In electronics, impedance matching is the practice of designing the input impedance of an electrical load (or the output impedance of its corresponding signal source) to maximize the power transfer or minimize reflections from the load. In the case of a complex source impedance ZS and load impedance ZL, maximum power transfer is obtained when where * indicates the complex conjugate. Plot below shows power lost due to internal resistance of the source and the power transferred to the load as a function of the load resistance. Jaycar Electronics Reference Data Sheet: IMPMATCH.PDF (1) IMPEDANCE MATCHING: A PRIMER From time to time youll come across the term impedance matching in various areas of electronics, and especially in fields like RF and audio engineering. However even in these fields its often misused, probably because many people dont really understand the concepts behind it. In this primer well try to clarify what impedance matching is really all about, why its important in some situations and not important in others. Textbooks usually explain the idea of impedance matching with a very simple example of an electrical generator feeding a resistive load, as shown in Fig.1. Because the generator has an internal resistance of its own (RG) as all real generators do this tends to dissipate some of the generators output power as heat, Fig.1: A generator driving a load resistance RL whenever we connect a load to its output terminals. So and its own internal resistance RG. the full mechanical power fed into the generator cant be drawn from it as electrical power, because some will impedance. And the idea of matching the load and always be wasted in RG. generator resistance became one of matching the source When early electrical engineers were faced with this and load impedance impedance matching. problem, they naturally enough did everything they Now this may sound simple and straightforward, but could to reduce the internal resistance of their its important to remember where the idea came from, generators. However they were inevitably still left with and also realise what exactly is going on when we do SOME internal resistance, because its impossible to match load and generator/source resistances or reduce the resistance to zero unless you run the impedances. True, the POWER transferred to the load generator at a temperature of close to absolute zero will be a maximum; but at the same time, the actual (0Kelvins, or -273 C). ° power being dissipated in the generators internal Once they had minimised the internal resistance, their resistance is EXACTLY THE SAME as that reaching the next step was to see if there was some way that they load! In other words, HALF the total power from the could minimise the amount of power wasted in it, by generator is now being turned into heat inside RG, varying the resistance of the load. And what they because its resistance is now half the total connected discovered is shown in the Fig.2, which plots the amount across the generator. The other half is the load of power transferred into the load RL as its resistance is resistance RL. varied. As you can see, the amount of power reaches a For exactly the same reason, RG and RL will now be peak or MAXIMUM when the load resistance is the acting as a 2:1 voltage divider across the generator same as or matches the generator resistance. It falls so that only HALF the generators output voltage (EG) away for values both higher and lower than this figure, will be appearing across the load. In terms of voltage showing that matching the two is clearly desirable if we transfer, then, matching the impedances isnt particularly want to maximise the power able to reach the load. efficient: it actually gives a 6dB loss. So this is where the idea of matching the resistance of Does this mean that impedance matching really only the load to that of the generator came from. Before applies to generators in power stations? No, and in fact long, it was extended to cover the general situation of it doesnt really apply there either or at least, not any load impedance connected to a source of electrical simply. All it really means is that as you draw more and energy or voltage (EMF), with its own internal source more power from a generator by reducing the load resistance, a point is reached where half the generators output power is being wasted inside it. Obviously with very high power generators its not a good idea to load them even this heavily let alone dropping the RL even further, where even more power is lost inside the generator than reaches the load. (See the blue curve in Fig.2, showing the power lost in the generator.) Most power station generators are loaded with an RL somewhat higher than RG, to waste as little power as possible. So when IS impedance matching a good idea? Glad you asked. Basically its for situations rather different from that in Fig.1, where were stuck with a particular load or cable impedance, and we still want to either maximise the power transferred into the load, or minimise the amount of power reflected back from it into the cable, or both. Fig.2: How the power fed to the load varies as the load RF CABLE MATCHING resistance is varied (red plot), and what happens to the For example in many RF situations, we tend to have power wasted in RG (blue plot). a relatively fixed LOAD impedance say a resonant Minimum reflection is obtained when The concept of impedance matching was originally developed for electrical engineering, but can be applied to any other field where a form of energy (not necessarily electrical) is transferred between a source and a load. An alternative to impedance matching is impedance bridging, where the load impedance is chosen to be much larger than the source impedance and maximizing voltage transfer (rather than power) is the goal. Impedance is the opposition by a system to the flow of energy from a source. If a source with a low impedance is connected to a load with a high impedance the power that can pass through the connection is limited by the higher impedance. This maximum-voltage connection is a common configuration called impedance bridging or voltage bridging, and is widely used in signal processing. In such applications, delivering a high voltage (to minimize signal degradation during transmission or to consume less power by reducing currents) is often more important than maximum power transfer.

  • Cascode Amplifiers by Dennis L. Feucht Two-Transistor Combinations
    Cascode Amplifiers by Dennis L. Feucht Two-transistor combinations, such as the Darlington configuration, provide advantages over single-transistor amplifier stages. Another two-transistor combination in the analog designer's circuit library combines a common-emitter (CE) input configuration with a common-base (CB) output. This article presents the design equations for the basic cascode amplifier and then offers other useful variations. (FETs instead of BJTs can also be used to form cascode amplifiers.) Together, the two transistors overcome some of the performance limitations of either the CE or CB configurations. Basic Cascode Stage The basic cascode amplifier consists of an input common-emitter (CE) configuration driving an output common-base (CB), as shown above. The voltage gain is, by the transresistance method, the ratio of the resistance across which the output voltage is developed by the common input-output loop current over the resistance across which the input voltage generates that current, modified by the α current losses in the transistors: v R A = out = −α ⋅α ⋅ L v 1 2 β + + + vin RB /( 1 1) re1 RE where re1 is Q1 dynamic emitter resistance. This gain is identical for a CE amplifier except for the additional α2 loss of Q2. The advantage of the cascode is that when the output resistance, ro, of Q2 is included, the CB incremental output resistance is higher than for the CE. For a bipolar junction transistor (BJT), this may be insignificant at low frequencies. The CB isolates the collector-base capacitance, Cbc (or Cµ of the hybrid-π BJT model), from the input by returning it to a dynamic ground at VB.

  • Experiment No. 7 - BJT Amplifier Input/Output Impedances
    UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHARLOTTE Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Experiment No. 7 - BJT Amplifier Input/Output Impedances Overview: The purpose of this lab is to familiarize the student with the measurement of the input and output impedances of a Bipolar Junction Transistor single-stage amplifier. In previous experiments the DC biasing and AC amplification in BJT amplifiers has been investigated. This BJT experiment will build upon these previous experiments as well as expand into the investigation of input and output impedances. The amplifier chosen for study is the common-emmitter type as shown in Figure 1. Techniques for properly biasing the BJT amplifier and setting up AC amplification will be further utilized and methods for measuring imput and output impedances will be introduced. While the input impedance of an amplifier is in general a complex quantity, in the midband range it is predominantly resistive. Input impedance is defined as the ratio of imput voltage to input current. It is calculated from the AC equivalent circuit as the equivalent resistance looking into the input with all current cources replaced by an open and all voltage sources replaced by a short. The significance of input impedance is that it provides a measure of the loading effect of the amplifier. A low input impedance translates to a poor low-frequency response and a large input power requirement. For example, Op-Amps have a very large input impedance, and therefore, a good low- frequency response and a low input power requirement. Likewise, output impedance is in general a complex quantity, but is predominantly resistive in the midband range.

  • 1 DC Linear Circuits
    1 DC Linear Circuits In electromagnetism, voltage is a unit of either electrical potential or EMF. In electronics, including the text, the term “voltage” refers to the physical quantity of either potential or EMF. Note that we will use SI units, as does the text. As usual, the sign convention for current I = dq/dt is that I is positive in the direction which positive electrical charge moves. We will begin by considering DC (i.e. constant in time) voltages and currents to introduce Ohm’s Law and Kirchoff’s Laws. We will soon see, however, that these generalize to AC. 1.1 Ohm’s Law For a resistor R, as in the Fig. 1 below, the voltage drop from point a to b, V = Vab = Va Vb is given by V = IR. − I a b R Figure 1: Voltage drop across a resistor. A device (e.g. a resistor) which obeys Ohm’s Law is said to be ohmic. The power dissipated by any device is given by P = V I and if the device is a resistor (or otherwise ohmic), we can use Ohm’s law to write this as P = V I = I2R = V 2/R. One important implication of Ohm’s law is that any two points in a circuit which are not separated by a resistor (or some other device) must be at the same voltage. Note that when we talk about voltage, we often refer to a voltage with respect to ground, but this is usually an arbitrary distinction. Only changes in voltage are relevant.

Firstly, a single-stage amplifier has been designed with 11 dB gain and 3.7 dB noise figure at 8 GHz. Secondly, a cascode two-stage LNA with 16 dB gain and 3.8 dB noise figure at 8 GHz is also described. Finally, a cascade two-stage LNA with a wide-band RF performance (a gain larger than unity between 2-17 GHz and a noise figure below 5 dB between 1.7 GHz and 12 GHz) is presented. These SiGe BiCMOS LNA’s could for example be used in the microwave receivers modules of advanced phased array antennas, potentially making those more cost- effective and also more compact in size in the future.

With further engineering insight, they may become more effective at achieving their desired tone. The creation of a tone - from a plucked string to the sound that emerges from the amplifier - requires the understanding of several strongly-interacting acoustical, mechanical, and electronic systems. These include the theory of electromagnetic induction, the design and fabrication of the pickup, and the location of the pickup relative to the bridge, the structural characteristics of the guitar, and the relationship of the pickup's output impedance to that of the instrument cable and guitar preamplifier. A complete analysis of the three most common electromagnetic pickups, the Single Coil, the Humbucker, and the P-90, used on the Fender Telecaster(TM) and Stratocaster(TM) and Gibson Les Paul(TM), provide examples for the approach developed in this paper.

  • Impedance Matching and Smith Charts
    Impedance Matching and Smith Charts John Staples, LBNL Impedance of a Coaxial Transmission Line A pulse generator with an internal impedance of R launches a pulse down an infinitely long coaxial transmission line. Even though the transmission line itself has no ohmic resistance, a definite current I is measured passing into the line by during the period of the pulse with voltage V. The impedance of the coaxial line Z0 is defined by Z0 = V / I. The impedance of a coaxial transmission line is determined by the ratio of the electric field E between the outer and inner conductor, and the induced magnetic induction H by the current in the conductors. 1 D D The surge impedance is, Z = 0 ln = 60ln 0 2 0 d d where D is the diameter of the outer conductor, and d is the diameter of the inner conductor.

  • Ultra High Input Impedance Electrometer/Pulse Train Converter for the Measurement of Beam Losses
    Ultra High Input Impedance Electrometer/Pulse Train Converter For the Measurement of Beam Losses Daniel Schoo Version AD650.4 July 2013 1 DESIGN OVERVIEW The intended purpose of this project is to design a new circuit to measure beam losses in the NuMI, G-2 and Mu2e beamlines using traditional Andrew® Heliax® type HJ5-50 air dielectric cable based loss monitor detectors and report those values to the existing Radiation Safety System. Additionally the circuit may also be useful as a replacement for the obsolescent front end electronics in the Fermi “Chipmunk” radiation detector. This constrains the circuit to match the requirements of the existing system for measuring and reporting losses. Typically beam losses for radiation safety purposes are measured by collecting the electrical charge induced in a gas filled ion chamber exposed to the loss flux. The charge collected is directly proportional to the amount of beam loss. The value of the charge is then converted to a pulse train for reporting back to the Radiation Safety System. Because of the way that the Radiation Safety System evaluates the incoming data, the pulse train must possess two important characteristics. First, the peak frequency is proportional to the peak value of the collected charge. Second, the total number of pulses is proportional to the total integrated value of the charge. The pulse frequency immediately indicates the severity of the loss before the pulse count has completed in order to enable a rapid response to large losses. The pulse count reports the actual loss value. This is reported over a period of time limited by the rate that the Radiation Safety “MUX” data collection system can accept, which could be many seconds in duration for large losses.
