The characteristic impedance or surge impedance belongs to a uniform transmission line, usually written Z0. It is the ratio of the amplitudes of a single pair of voltage and current waves propagating along the line in the absence of reflections.

Which is better high input impedance or low input impedance and why?

That depends on the output impedance. In electronic we use voltage bridging, that is a relative low output impedance to a higher input impedance. Usualy the input impedance is more than ten times higher then the output impedance. An input impedance is called also a load impedance or an external impedance. An output impedance is called also a source impedance or an internal impedance.


What is impedance coupled amplifier?

The purpose of impedance matching is to provide for the highest efficiency between either the stages of an amplifier circuit or from a device to the amplifier for the same purpose. Impedance matching us used to make the circuits compatible based on electrical characteristics of a particular circuit from one section (or stage) to the next.

Why input impedance of operational amplifier is infinite?

Input impedance (Zin) is assumed to be infinite to prevent any current flowing from the source supply into the amplifiers input circuitry. Infinite Input impedance is one of the Ideal Characteristics of the Op-Amp. With an assumption of Infinite Input impedance, there is no Loading on the preceeding stage to the Op-Amp (i.e. Supply.) or The Op-Amp under test does not draw any current from the I/p Supply to it's internal Circuitry.

Can impedence inversion be obtained by a short circuit stub?

No, impedance inversion cannot be achieved with a short circuit stub. A short circuit stub will have a low impedance at the point where it is connected, which will not invert the impedance at that point. Impedance inversion can be achieved using techniques such as a quarter-wave transformer or a transmission line with specific impedance characteristics.


Which characteristics of Op-Amp is responsible for virtual ground?

The main parameter responsible for virtual ground of an Op-Amp is Input Impedance . Generally , for an Op-Amp it is very high . So , we can conclude that the characteristics of an Op-Amp responsible for virtual ground is high input impedance .


Which device has its characteristics very close to that of an ideal current source?

A: A current source can be defined as a zero impedance source. A battery is essentially a zero impedance since it can provide lots of current with zero volts out

What is the relationship between frequency and the size of a transformer?

Basically the characteristics of a transformer depends on the impedance(resistance) and on the coupling of its primary and secondary coils. The impedance of a coil depends on the frequency, as the frequency increases you need less volume of iron core and less number of turns in the coil for a given impedance, then reducing the size of the transformer.


Why do you use feedback?

The voltage gain,input impedance,output impedance,bandwidth etc. are the characteristics of amplifier's. these are more or less constant for a given amplifier. These parameters are required to be controlled. This can be done by using feedback that's why we use feedback.
