It is then not really an amplifier. I disagree with this. If the stage puts out more RF than it takes in, it is an amplifier By that definition, it could also be an oscillator! If you are putting RF in and getting RF out at the same frequency, in any reasonable case the circuit is acting as an amplifier. The circuit may well oscillate when no input is applied. This sort of amplifier was very common in the past and still is somewhat common. A super-regen receiver is the most obvious example. Many tube based FM receiver designs had a FM detector that would oscillate with no input signal. The "burst lock oscillator" in a TV is in fact a very narrow pass filter and amplifier when there is a burst to lock to. With no burst it oscillates. -- -- forging knowledge |
