This article proposed a simple self cascode RGC amplifier configuration to increase the gain and bandwidth. The cascode amplifier eliminates the miller capacitance between input and output and facilitates high gain, high input and output impedance with high bandwidth. However, the cascode amplifier requires relatively high supply voltage for proper operation and it decreases the output voltage ...

Introduction: Coupling between coil elements of a transmit array is one of the key challenges faced by designers of MRI transmitter arrays. To address this challenge, methods and systems have been developed to change the output impedance of the RF power amplifiers driving the array coils in order to suppress inter-element coupling effects. Chu [1], for example, proposed an output-matching netwo...

Owing to its well-known properties of possible power-noise match as well as superior noise performance, the inductively-degenerated low-noise amplifier is nowadays the most-widely used RF pre-amplifier topology. However, there is not much flexibility when setting the amplifier’s input impedance to match the source impedance, as for a given biasing condition, matching is achievable only for a pa...

This paper presents a predictable fixed gain instrumentation amplifier using switched capacitor instead of resistor to improve the accuracy of the gain as 10. This instrumentation amplifier builds up by two operational amplifiers which connect by switched capacitor. These switched capacitors are used to stable the whole circuit, fix the gain of total instrumentation amplifier. Using two operati...

The general utility of the operational amplifier is derived from the fact that it is intended for use in a feedback loop whose feedback properties determine the feed-forward characteristics of the amplifier and loop combination. To suit it for this usage, the ideal operational amplifier would have infinite input impedance, zero output impedance, infinite gain and an open-loop 3 dB point at infi...
