  2. Sensitivity (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_(electronics)

    The sensitivity of a microphone is usually expressed as the sound field strength in decibels (dB) relative to 1 V/Pa (Pa = N/m 2) or as the transfer factor in millivolts per pascal (mV/Pa) into an open circuit or into a 1 kiloohm load. [citation needed] The sensitivity of a loudspeaker is usually expressed as dB / 2.83 V RMS at 1 metre.

  3. Minimum detectable signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_detectable_signal

    A minimum detectable signal is a signal at the input of a system whose power allows it to be detected over the background electronic noise of the detector system. It can alternately be defined as a signal that produces a signal-to-noise ratio of a given value m at the output.

  4. Current sense amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sense_amplifier

    These amplifiers are designed to amplify a very small "sense voltage" of 10 to 100 mV, in the presence of very large common-mode voltages of 5 to 30 V. DC precision (low input offset voltage) and high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) are distinguishing characteristics of these amplifiers. Some current sense amplifiers measure current flowing ...

  5. SINAD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SINAD

    Receiver sensitivity: 0.25 μV at 12 dB SINAD. This is stating that the receiver will produce intelligible speech with a signal at its input as low as 0.25 μV. Radio receiver designers will test the product in a laboratory using a procedure, which is typically as follows:

  6. Two-tone testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-tone_testing

    The combined test signal can be injected directly in to the receiver if the antenna is removable. A second directional coupler, connected in the conventional configuration, can be used to provide a feed of the input to a spectrum analyser. This allows confirmation that the input signal is free of intermodulation products.

  7. Negative-feedback amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-feedback_amplifier

    Paul Voigt patented a negative feedback amplifier in January 1924, though his theory lacked detail. [4] Harold Stephen Black independently invented the negative-feedback amplifier while he was a passenger on the Lackawanna Ferry (from Hoboken Terminal to Manhattan) on his way to work at Bell Laboratories (located in Manhattan instead of New Jersey in 1927) on August 2, 1927 [5] (US Patent ...

  8. Current-feedback operational amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current-feedback...

    The current-feedback operational amplifier (CFOA or CFA) is a type of electronic amplifier whose inverting input is sensitive to current, rather than to voltage as in a conventional voltage-feedback operational amplifier (VFA). The CFA was invented by David Nelson at Comlinear Corporation, and first sold in 1982 as a hybrid amplifier, the CLC103.

  9. Charge amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_amplifier

    Charge amplifier for piezoelectric sensors. Practical charge amplifiers usually include additional stages like voltage amplifiers, transducer sensitivity adjustment, high and low pass filters, integrators and level monitoring circuits. The charge signals at the input of a charge amplifier can be as low as some fC (FemtoCoulomb = 10 −15 C). A ...
