What is linear op amp?
It's an op amp (operational amplifier) with a linear response, meaning that double the input means double the output.
Differentiate between small signal and large signal amplifier?
The amplifier is supposed to be an electronic circuit. Electronic circuits are nonlinear circuits, which may be modeled in the time domain by means of nonlinear differential equations and nonlinear algebraic equations. The kernel of the solution of the nonlinear equations is the solution of a linear equation system i.e. the nonlinear components and couplings are approximated with linear relations valid for small signals. Iterations are performed until the laws of Kirchhoff are fulfilled. The instant set of linear equations is the small signal model for the amplifier. If the amplifier is excited with a dc power source it assumes an active state called the bias point or quiescent point. If the relation between the input and the output signals of the amplifier is measured to be (almost) linear in the bias point then we assume a small signal amplifier with time independent bias point else we assume a large signal amplifier.
What is the function of resistor in single stage amplifier?
A simple, 1 transistor single stage amplifier can be made using several resistors to bias a NPN or PNP transistor into its' linear operating region. With this done, a small voltage signal applied to the input of the amplifier will have the voltage amplified at the output in a linear fashion. I'm not sure what your question is; if this does not answer it let me know.
What is A or C biasing?
The three standard forms of analog amplifier biasing are:class A - the amplifier is biased in the center of its linear operating range, this is the most linear but least efficient type of amplifier (because the transistors or tubes are always conducting, even when there is no signal to ampliify).class B - the amplifier is biased at the cutoff point, this is an efficient amplifier but is only linear if operated as a push-pull amplifier (because the transistors or tubes are in cutoff and not conducting when there is no signal and through one half of every cycle, a class B push-pull amplifier has two sections that operate on alternate halves of the cycle).class C - the amplifier is biased in hard cutoff so that only the peaks of the input signal are amplified, this is the most efficient amplifier (because the transistors or tubes may be in cutoff and not conducting for more the 85% of the time) but it is not capable of linear amplification. An amplifier biased as class C is only suitable for use in RF transmitter power stages, where a resonant LC tank circuit will be excited into oscillation by the output of the amplifier and complete the missing parts of the cycle.There are other forms of biasing (e.g. class AB) analog amplifiers that get some of the advantages of two of the standard forms. There are also forms of amplifiers having other nonstandard classes (e.g. class D) that are not analog amplifiers, but instead operate by amplifying pulses.
What is Linear system in electronics?
A linear electronic device is one where output is linearly proportional, in some way, to input. An example is an amplifier. A non-linear device is one where the input drives the circuit into some kind of saturation mode. An example is a switch, such as is used in TTL IC's.
