Hi,
I had posted this at the Analog Circuit Design. This forum is more appropriate hence reposting here.
I'm planning to design an RF amplifier. My basic purpose is to increase the range of an existing radio link of 415MHz.
There are several types of transistors, by types i mean "BJT" and "FET".
I know i need to select the transistor based on my requirement and transistor characteristics(no doubts on that) but, which type of transistor to use "BJT" ? "FET"? "MOSFET" ? (remembered i used FET for switching and BJT for amplification when i studied engineering) please advice.
Transistor Biasing. CB, CC, CE these are which i know. But which one to be used? CE is mostly used for amplification ( please correct me if I'm wrong)
Next, Class of amplifiers. We have class A , Class B, Class C. Which one is more suitable for RF amplification.
What is a power amplifier(this amplifies the RF signals to drive something like an antenna, correct?) Is this a separate category than the above or Power amplifier fits into one of the amplifier class ( A, B, C )
lots of questions. Please advice.
Thanks and Regards
