For the EF86 low-noise audio pentode valve, for example, this voltage noise is specified (see e.g., the Valvo, Telefunken or Philips data sheets) as 2 microvolts integrated over a frequency range of approximately 25 Hz to 10 kHz. (This refers to the integrated noise, see below for the frequency dependence of the noise spectral density.)
A valve RF amplifier (UK and Aus.) or tube amplifier is a device for electrically amplifying the power of an electrical radio frequency signal. Low to medium power valve amplifiers for frequencies below the microwaves were largely replaced by solid state amplifiers during the 1960s and 1970s, initially for receivers and low power stages of ...
Tube sound (or valve sound) is the characteristic sound associated with a vacuum tube amplifier (valve amplifier in British English), a vacuum tube-based audio amplifier. [1] At first, the concept of tube sound did not exist, because practically all electronic amplification of audio signals was done with vacuum tubes and other comparable ...
A valve amplifier or tube amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier that uses vacuum tubes to increase the amplitude or power of a signal. Low to medium power valve amplifiers for frequencies below the microwaves were largely replaced by solid state amplifiers in the 1960s and 1970s.
GR – Rectifier tube; SR – Transmitter tube; VR – Amplifier tube; The third letter specifies the cooling method: L – Forced air; S – Radiation; V – Vapor (the anode is immersed in evaporating water, and the steam is collected, condensed and recycled) W – Water; The first digit (or the first two digits in double tubes) indicates the ...
A SET tube audio amplifier. A single-ended triode (SET) is a vacuum tube electronic amplifier that uses a single triode to produce an output, in contrast to a push-pull amplifier which uses a pair of devices with antiphase inputs to generate an output with the wanted signals added and the distortion components subtracted.
In this example, the frequency ω 3dB such that ω 3dB C M R A = 1 marks the end of the low-frequency response region and sets the bandwidth or cutoff frequency of the amplifier. The effect of C M upon the amplifier bandwidth is greatly reduced for low impedance drivers (C M R A is small if R A is small).
It should not be confused with "half-power" bandwidth, only used in conjunction with filter frequency response curves, where it refers to -3dB points in the frequency response of a band-pass filter. Data sheets for operational amplifiers often use the term (full-)power bandwidth to indicate the highest frequency at which the achievable peak-to ...
