Why Does My Circuit's Gain Drop Significantly When Tested?

    Gain Short
AI Thread Summary
The circuit designed for a gain of 60 dB is only achieving around 30 dB, and even lower with an electrode, dropping below 25 dB. Possible reasons for this significant gain drop include incorrect circuit design, component values, or impedance mismatches. To diagnose the issue effectively, sharing the circuit schematic, gain calculations, frequency of operation, and source and load impedances is essential. The outcome of continuing with the circuit as is may lead to poor performance and unreliable results. Providing detailed information will help others offer more accurate assistance.

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 continue with this circuit, what would happen to the outcome result?

I am new to circuit making and any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

You would really have to show the circuit of your amplifier and also give your calculations for the gain.

Even then, it may be difficult to work out why your amplifier is not performing too well.
So, you need to help us as much as you can.
 
By 60dB, do you mean a voltage gain of 1000?
You must post the circuit schematic for anyone to help you and say the frequency of operation and the source and load impedances.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
