Overview
This is a power amplifier which I made entirely at home with very cheap parts for a school project. It’s an amplifier that can take an input of ±0.5V from a source and deliver it with good linearity and less than 10% attenuation. To verify that everything was running properly and up to the required specs, an AD3 system was used to measure various parts of the circuit and the actual values were compared to theoretical values.

Challenges
Since this project is made entirely with hardware, it was initially difficult to understand how the circuit should be designed for it to achieve the requirements which were highlighted by the professor. It took me a lot of experimenting with the real life circuit alongside virtually simulating other circuits to finally achieve a design which worked and met all requirements. Although it was challenging, it was a fun learning experience to understand how circuits work and can be manipulated.
