WHAT DOES AMPLIFIER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

amplifier

Amplifier

An electronic amplifier, amplifier, or amp is an electronic device that increases the power of a signal. It does this by taking energy from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude. In this sense, an amplifier modulates the output of the power supply. There are four basic types of electronic amplifier: the voltage amplifier, the current amplifier, the transconductance amplifier, and the transresistance amplifier. A further distinction is whether the output is a linear or nonlinear representation of the input. Amplifiers can also be categorized by their physical placement in the signal chain.

Definition of amplifier in the English dictionary

The first definition of amplifier in the dictionary is an electronic device used to increase the strength of the signal fed into it. Other definition of amplifier is such a device used for the amplification of audio frequency signals in a radio, etc. Amplifier is also an additional lens for altering the focal length of a camera lens.
