A bipolar amplifier outputs multiple signals based on the polarity of the input signal and adds gain while minimizing noise. Its design reduces noise and impedance matching is used to reduce noise generated by circuit components. Bipolar amplifiers are advantageous in reducing noise and are often used in broadcasting.
A bipolar amplifier is a signal amplifier that has the ability to output more than one signal. The output is determined by the positive or negative polarity of the signal input to the amplifier circuit. The bipolar amplifier is not only capable of outputting multiple signals that match the input polarity, it is also capable of adding gain to the signal as the input signal passes through it. This allows for an input signal that results in low noise, which is a common problem among different amplifier circuits.
The circuit layout of a bipolar amplifier is designed to minimize the amount of noise within the amplifier circuit itself. In fact, any amplifier used, bipolar in nature or not, must be designed to produce as little noise as possible. If the circuit is not designed to minimize noise, the noise created will accompany the output signal as an amplified signal.
The design of a bipolar amplifier is simple. The input signal is matched in noise impedance to the receiving signal. Noise generated in a circuit is usually caused by the components located at the front of the circuit itself and the design of the bipolar amplifier keeps it to a minimum.
Bipolar amplifiers have an advantage over other amplifier circuits in the noise reduction aspect of the circuit due to the way the amplifier circuit itself is arranged. Most of the noise that occurs within a circuit is caused by the continuous transfer of the input signal from one circuit component to another. The fact that the layout of a bipolar amplifier is not conducive to producing electronic noise and that the amplifier is usually located at the front of the device circuit is a significant advantage to the amplifier.
Another benefit of using the bipolar amplifier at the beginning of a device circuit is that any noise in the input signal to the amplifier is reduced through the natural noise reduction tendencies of the amplifier. This is true regardless of the polarity of the input signal. As a result, bipolar amplifiers are often used in AM and FM radio broadcasting as a means of adding gain to input signal strength without adding gain to any noise in the signal itself.
