Advantages and Disadvantages of Tuned Amplifiers

Advantages :

1. They amplify defined frequencies.

2. Signal to noise ratio at output is good.

3. They are well suited for radio transmitters and receivers.

4. The band of frequencies over which amplification is required can be varied.

Disadvantages :

1. Since they use inductors and capacitors as tuning elements, the circuit is bulky and costly.

2. If the band of frequency is increased, design becomes complex.

3. They are not suitable to amplify audio frequencies.

Review Question

1. State two advantages and two disadvantages of tuned amplifiers.
