A pair of transistors are mutually parallel connected in emitter follower configuration by a variable bias potentiometer to the meter through three terminals. Each transistor supplies an input to an analog comparator with resistive and capacitive feedback to provide common mode rejection with a single-ended output signal. An isolating transistor in common collector configuration is connected to the output of the analog comparator for impedance transformation. The transistors are selectively connected to receive either a pair of balanced incoming signals or an unbalanced signal. A reference signal is applied as an input to one of the parallel connected transistors in unbalanced operation.,下面是Small signal amplifier particularly for flow meter monitoring专利的具体信息内容。
