This circuit provides a voltage gain of 20 ±0.1 dB from 0.5 to 25 MHz and ±3 dB from 70 kHz to 55 MHz. An LM733 video amplifier offers a low input noise specification, with a typical value of 10 µV measured over a 15.7 MHz bandwidth. Additionally, the scale factor of the instrument can be maintained by utilizing a trimmer resistor (R1) or a precision resistor to adjust the circuit's voltage gain to exactly 100.
The described circuit employs an LM733 video amplifier, which is known for its high performance in video and RF applications due to its low noise characteristics and wide bandwidth capabilities. The amplifier operates effectively within the specified frequency ranges, ensuring optimal signal integrity.
The gain configuration of 20 ±0.1 dB indicates that the circuit is designed for applications requiring consistent amplification across a specified range. The additional gain stability of ±3 dB from 70 kHz to 55 MHz allows for some flexibility in applications where frequency response may vary, making it suitable for a variety of signal processing tasks.
The inclusion of a trimmer resistor (R1) or a precision resistor for gain adjustment is a notable feature. This allows for fine-tuning of the voltage gain to achieve an exact value of 100, which is essential for maintaining the accuracy of measurements in precision applications. The use of high-quality resistors ensures minimal drift and stability over time, which is critical in high-frequency operations.
In terms of practical implementation, the circuit should be designed with careful attention to layout to minimize parasitic capacitance and inductance, which could affect performance at higher frequencies. Proper bypassing and decoupling techniques should be employed to maintain the integrity of the power supply and reduce noise interference.
Overall, this circuit is well-suited for applications in video processing, RF amplification, and other scenarios where low noise and precise gain control are paramount.
