video amplifier circuit

• To increase the video signal strength ,video

amplifiers can be used.
• The circuit in Figure below is simple
video amplifier circuit.  It uses an op-amp IC:
LM359 or similar. Which they can work in a high
frequency such as LM3900series.
• Gain bandwidth of the LM359 is approximately
10-100 times at frequency30MHz range. Also,
they can use up to 400MHz, but lower gain.

 The principle of  simple video amplifier

• This op-amp is connected in negative feedback

from or non-inverting. Because of has signal is
fed to negative polarity. Then, the output signal
will be feedback to the negative polarity again.
To make a more stable operation.
• Although, the gain is reduced. It will raise the bar
even higher frequencies in equal proportions.
• The gain of the circuit calculated by dividing R3
and R1, around 10 times.
• So, it is a gain of approximately 20 dB at the
frequency band of 20 MHz.
• Resistors-R1 is input resistance value 750 Ohms, to
appropriate values to load 75 Ohms. Load on the
antenna is 75 Ohms. The R1 value is the specific
values at only applies to the number LM359.
• If you want to use other op amps. The input
impedance can be as high as approximately 20K
ohms.
