Abstract electrical amplifier with constant gain.

Based on ElectricalAmplifierTimeStepper.

Args

  • gain: The amplifier’s power gain.
  • f_3dB: -3 dB frequency cutoff for bandwidth limiting. None or zero disables filtering.
  • saturation_power: Output saturation power.
  • compression_power: Output 1 dB compression power for the fundamental of a real single tone.
  • ip3: Output third-order intercept point from a two-tone measurement.
  • noise_figure: The amplifier’s noise figure (NF).
  • r0: Reflection coefficient for the input port.
  • r1: Reflection coefficient for the output port.
  • seed: Random number generator seed to ensure reproducibility.
