Amplifier Instrument Information
An RF amplifier is an electronic device used to amplify radio frequency signals. It takes a weak RF (radio frequency) input signal and increases its power while maintaining signal integrity. These amplifiers are commonly used in communication systems, radar, and broadcasting to strengthen signals for transmission or processing. The amplification is achieved through active components like transistors or vacuum tubes, ensuring efficient signal boosting with minimal distortion.
