Distortion Of Amplifier…..

 Objectives
• Recognize the types of distortion.
• Understanding the types of distortion that
occurs in the power amplifier.
Amplitude Distortion
• The output signal became flatten at the
upper or lower side or both side.
• This is caused by larger input signal or
varying biasing or unlinearity of the
transistors.
Types of Distortion

Frequency Distortion
• This type of distortion occur for amplifier
circuit that has narrow bandwidth or
unlinearity of the amplifier, or filtering
characteristics and unsuitable feedback.
• For example the changes in value for
coupling capacitor or feedback capacitor.
 Phase Distortion
• The output phase distortion is compared
to the input signal.
• Every amplifier has a certain phase
differences such as 00 atau 1800.
• Other than these phases, the output is
considered phased distortion.
Cross-over Distortion
• This faults is commonly occur in push-pull
or complementary amplifier.
• The output signal is less than 1800.
• This is caused by wrong biasing or drifted
characteristics of the active components.
Phase Distortion
• It is difficult to analyze this type of
distortion because the original audio
signal usually comes with harmonics
noise that cause the phase to be
distorted.
• But we can refer to the results given by
the squarewave testing.
Cross-over Distortion
 Intermodulation Distortion
• This is caused by the unlinearity of the
various input frequencies than added to
produce a new frequency.
• For example, if there are two input
frequencies, 1 KHz and 400Hz but the
output became 600Hz or 1.4KHz.
Intermodulation Distortion
Intermodulation Distortion
• It can be tested using the circuits below.
• The results are odd and even harmonic
distortion.
• This test can also be used to observe
other distortions.
