RF Amplifier Advantages | RF Amplifier Disadvantages
This page covers advantages and disadvantages of RF Amplifier. It mentions RF Amplifier advantages and RF Amplifier disadvantages.
RF Amplifier Advantages
Following are the RF Amplifier advantages:
➨The RF amplifier offers greater gain i.e. better sensitivity.
➨It offers better selectivity and hence it has ability to select
wanted signals from multiple input signals at the RF receiver.
➨RF amplifier amplifies weak received signals i.e.
it increases amplitude of weak RF signal while
maintaining good Signal to Noise ratio.
RF Amplifier Disadvantages
Following are the RF Amplifier disadvantages:
➨Power consumption is higher than other RF components.
Hence RF amplifier efficiency is big concern for the
RF designers.
➨Higher wattage RF amplifier requires heatsink and hence it will be
bulky in the size.
➨RF amplifier design requires very costly software design tools.
Hence initial investment is higher for designers and manufacturers of
the RF amplifiers.
