control system -- open loop transfer function and open loop gain Is there any difference between open loop transfer function and open loop gain ?

This is the Bode plot of a Broadband Bandreject Op Amp amplifier. The exercise says this: I know that in order to get both cutoff frequencies I need to subtract 3 dB from the plot, but how do I get the gain? I would think that the gain is 3 dB because it is also the distance between the top of...

An amplifier increases the peak-to-peak voltage of a signal from 1 V to 20 V. What is the amplifier's gain in dB? dB = 20 log10 (Vout/Vin) In this case dB = 20 log10 (20/1) I'm not sure :/

Hello, I was wondering if someone might be able to explain these terms. Specifically, the difference between them. From what I have read they seem to describe the same thing, i.e. the enthalpy change involved in: X(g) + e- → X-(g) I am sure there is a difference that I am just not...

Hello, Chitose here Just as the topic said, I'm I right? to believe that our body never gain weight more than weight of food we eat (and drink). 'cause mass won't come from nothing. we eat 100g of food, when it came out is less than that, part of it become our body mass (weight, height...

Ionization Enthalpy is defined as the amount of energy required to remove an atom's electron (can be valence or consecutive) ... this definition doesn't sound so complex. The definition of Electron Gain Enthalpy - it is the amount of energy required to add an electron. But, what is Electron...

I know the transfer function = Laplace{output}/Laplace{input}, while gain = output/input, but why is that matter? The ratio will still be the same (or is it?). And if there is a distinct different, is the result of the mason's formula using signal-flow graph a gain or a transfer function...

This is my first post here. I'm currently learning about Negative feedback. Normally, When we want to know the open loop gain, we rewrite circuit(a) to circuit(b). My question is why do RE1,RF,RE2 from circuit(a) turn into what we see circuit(b)? what is a theory behind this? In...

I understand how gravity can affect photons or light waves (Einstein's equivalence principle). But I was wondering if there are any theories that predict that a photon might somehow acquire mass in the presence of a singularity.

I have a circuit which i designed to have gain around 60dB unfortunately when I tried it out the circuit's gain falls short around 30 dB. and also when i tried it out with electrode, the circuit's gain got lower than 25 dB. My problem is what are the reasons that cause this problem and if I...

I was wondering if a projectile can be introduced to a Gauss-field and pick up kinetic energy when initial speed before coil were about 1000 fps. Or if the ironmass have to be initially fired from the same discharge\stream of flux to gain any speed. And least, would the Gauss-field slow the...

I'm stuck on what I'm sure is a very simple problem. I'm trying to calculate predicted output for my share trading model. For example, for a strategy the probability of it winning on each trade may be 0.4 and hence a loss is 0.6. But for each trade it wins, my account balance is...

Please correct me if I am wrong, as I have little more than a high school knowledge of physics until I start at university this year - virtually no knowledge of the quantum side of things just yet. ^^ My thought is, as spaghetification occurs as you approach the centre (not using singularity...
