bandwidth and high gain amplifier

May 04, 2005 1 Replies

Is it possible to increase the bandwith of a high-gain amplifier by substituting two lower gain amplifiers?



Yes.

Assuming that the amplifiers are op-amps, then having two, each with lower closed loop gains, will result in great overall BW. This is because that closed loop BW of an op-amp is inversely related to its closed loop gain.
