Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
An audio engineer is faced with excessive noise when using single-ended microphones in a concert hall. How could they redesign their system to use differential amplifiers effectively?
💡 Hint: Consider how positioning can affect the signals received.
Given that a differential amplifier has an output of 5V when the differential input is 1V, calculate its gain. Then explain what this gain means in the context of signal processing.
💡 Hint: Review the definition of gain in amplifiers.
