Title: Amplificateur a commande de gain, de gain variable et amplificateur a commande automatique de gain incluant des transistors a circuit differentiel et separateur de courant
Inventor: HOWLETT KATHRYN LOUISE
IPC: H04B1/18

Granted: 2003-08-05
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un amplificateur à commande de gain, qui comprend un circuit différentiel d'entrée comportant une paire de transistors, dont les émetteurs sont couplés par une paire de résistances. Le circuit différentiel d'entrée comprend un absorbeur de courant servant à créer un courant d'actionnement. En faisant varier le courant d'actionnement, on fait varier le gain de l'amplificateur à commande de gain. Deux amplificateurs différentiels couplés aux émetteurs sont connectés au circuit différentiel d'entrée comportant l'absorbeur de courant. Le courant s'écoulant dans les transistors de l'amplificateur différentiel couplé aux émetteurs et du circuit différentiel d'entrée est divisé par un circuit différentiel additionnel couplé aux émetteurs, comportant un absorbeur de courant. Le facteur de division du courant est régulé en réponse à la différence de tension entre les collecteurs des deux transistors des deux amplificateurs différentiels couplés aux émetteurs. Etant donné que des courants relativement faibles s'écoulent dans les résistances des émetteurs, le bruit parasite causé par eux est relativement bas. On obtient ainsi une large plage dynamique d'entrée avec un faible bruit. Cet amplificateur à commande de gain est utilisé dans un amplificateur de gain variable et dans un amplificateur à commande automatique de gain.
