Direct Coupled Amplifier

- A direct-coupled amplifier or DC amplifier is a type of amplifier in

which the output of one stage of the amplifier is coupled to the input of
the next stage in such a way as to permit signals with zero frequency,
also referred to as direct current, to pass from input to output.

RC coupled amplifier
- R-C coupled coupling is the most widely used method of coupling in
multistageamplifiers. In this case the Resistance R is the resistor
connected at the collector terminal and the capacitor C is connected in
between the amplifiers. It is also called a blocking capacitor, since it
will block DC voltage.

Transformer coupled amplifier
- The main drawback of RC coupled amplifier is low voltage and power
gains and poor impedance matching. This is because of the decrease
in effective load RAC of each stage. If the effective load resistance of
each stage could be increased, the voltage and power gain could be
increased. This van be achieved by transformer coupling. Transformer
coupling is generally employed when the load is small. It is mostly
used for power amplification.

Low Pass Filter
- A low-pass filter is a filter that passes signals with a frequency lower
than a certain cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies
higher than the cutoff frequency. The exact frequency response of the
filter depends on the filter design. The filter is sometimes called
a high-cut filter, or treble cut filter in audio applications. A low-pass
filter is the complement of a high-pass filter.
