Abstract

See full text

In a wide-band direct-coupled transistor amplifier, the current through the power output stage must be stabilized to prevent fluctuations in the amplifier output signal. To stabilize the output stage current, a negative feedback loop is established providing a bias control for the amplifier input stage. In the past, voltage feedback apparatus, typically including operational amplifiers, has been utilized. In the present invention, a current feedback path, which avoids the voltage level translation inherent in the prior art, is used to provide the feedback bias control for the input stage of the amplifier. A technique for the compensation of temperature drift and for voltage offset is described.
