专利汇可以提供Variable gain direct coupled amplifier专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A transistor amplifier comprising input circuitry for simultaneously adjusting, in response to a control signal, the gain of a transistor amplifying stage and the magnitude of its input signal, and output circuitry for maintaining constant the DC output voltage of the stage as the gain of the stage is varied. The input circuitry includes a control transistor whose collector to emitter path is comprised in the output legs of first and second voltage dividers. A gain control signal, e.g., an AGC signal, applied to the base of the control transistor controls the collector to emitter resistance of the control transistor, thereby controlling simultaneously the respective voltage divisions effected by the two dividers. The first divider controls the gain of the transistor amplifying stage by controlling its operating bias, and the second divider determines the fraction of the input signal applied to the amplifying stage. The output circuitry includes a third transistor the collector and emitter of which are directly connected to the collector and emitter respectively of the amplifying transistor and the base of which is supplied with the gain control signal. The two transistors share the same collector load resistor. As the gain control signal varies, the DC collector current of the third transistor changes in a direction opposite to that in which the collector current of the amplifying transistor changes, and by a substantially equal amount. Since the amplifying and third transistors share the same load resistor, the net DC current therethrough remains constant. Hence the DC output voltage of the stage also remains constant.,下面是Variable gain direct coupled amplifier专利的具体信息内容。
