专利汇可以提供Time-shared instantaneous gain-ranging amplifier专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且One-hundred low-frequency analog signal channels having a very large dynamic range, may be amplified to at least half of full scale a 14 bit analog to digital converter without distortion by an amplifier system that includes an instantaneous gain-ranger, a preamplifier for each channel, a filter system for each channel, a premultiplexer gain-ranging amplifier for each channel, and a multiplexer. The instantaneous gain-ranger consists of a series of binary amplifier stages, threshold detecting circuitry and logic circuitry. The output is taken from the first unsaturated amplifier. The preamplified and premultiplexer gain-ranging amplifier are connected into the system ahead of the multiplexer and provide a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio to mask the noise introduced into the system by the multiplexer. The output of the system is typically digitized.,下面是Time-shared instantaneous gain-ranging amplifier专利的具体信息内容。
