video amplifier
(redirected from video amplifiers)

video amplifier [′vid·ē·ō ′am·plə‚fī·ər]
(electronics)
A low-pass amplifier having a band width on the order of 2-10 megahertz, used in television and radar transmission and reception; it is a modification of anRC-coupled amplifier, such that the high-frequency half-power limit is determined essentially by the load resistance, the internal transistor capacitances, and the shunt capacitance in the circuit.

Video amplifier

A low-pass amplifier having a bandwidth in the range from 2 to 100 MHz. Typical applications are in television receivers, cathode-ray-tube computer terminals, and pulse amplifiers. The function of a video amplifier is to amplify a signal containing high-frequency components without introducing distortion.

Modern video amplifiers use specially designed integrated circuits. With one chip and an external resistor to control the voltage gain, it is possible to make a video amplifier with a bandwidth between 50 and 100 MHz having voltage gains ranging from 20 to 500. See Amplifier, Integrated circuits
