State the need of multistage amplifier. List the types of multistage amplifier and give two advantages of each type. 

2 Answers

Answer :

The multistage amplifiers are needed for

- To achieve higher input impedance

- To achieve higher Gain

- To achieve Low output impedance

Coupling

Direct coupling - Less complex, used for load which is in series.

RC coupling - Noise free, High gain

Transformer coupling - Good isolation, Good impedance matching

Answer :

Need of multistage amplifier: The voltage (or power) gain, obtained from a single stage small signal amplifier, is limited. Therefore, it is not sufficient for all practical applications. Therefore, in order to obtain greater voltage and power gain, we have to use more than one stage of amplification. Such an amplifier is called a „MULTISTAGE AMPLIFIER‟.
