Re: What are the differences between Signal ground, Chasis ground and Earth??

They are all connections to the same place, a point of zero voltage but with different purposes:

Signal Ground is a reference point from which that signal is measured, due to the inevitable voltage drops when current flows within a circuit, some 'ground' points will be slightly different to others. There may be several signal grounds in a circuit. Imagine if you had an amplifier with a voltage gain of 100 and you were amplifying a tiny signal, if the ground for the signal was elevated by just 0.01V the output would be wrong by 1V. Typically a signal ground would be a connection to the same stage of the circuit as the signal was connected.

Chassis ground is the box or frame in which a circuit is built. Typically, it is ground to make a barrier between the user and the circuits inside to prevent electric shock or to shield against interference pick up or radiation. In some high current applications, it is used as a conductor to carry current, for example in a vehicle where running many thick wires to the battery would be impractical but making connection to the chassis is easy almost anywhere. Chassis ground should be connected to the other grounds, usually it is done at a point close to where the power source arrives.

Earth ground is a theoretical zero. It is the potential of perfectly conducting Earth beneath your feet but obviously it varies widely depending on where you are. I live on a mountain where there is solid rock a few cm below the surface, in dry weather I have a very poor Earth, in wet weather it isn't too bad. The connection to Earth is normally along your power providers cables or by a rod driven into the ground or sometimes both. It is supposed to be a return path for current in the event of a short circuit on your AC power lines but it is also used in radio applications as a 'zero' reference to read antenna signals against.

 

1.Why we use frequency domain representation????

 Time domain refers to variation of amplitude of signal with time. For example consider a typical Electro cardiogram (ECG). If the doctor maps the heartbeat with time say the recording is done for 20 minutes, we call it a time domain signal.
However, as in ECG a number of peaks are there (of different types). Say in one heartbeat 4 types of peaks or variation in amplitude occurs. So in frequency domain, over the entire time period of recording, how many times each peak comes is recorded. Frequency is nothing but the number of times each event has occured during total period of observation. Frequency domain analysis is much simple as you can figure out the key points in the total interval rather than putting your eye on every variation which occurs in time domain analysis.
In ECG frequency domain analysis is used

 

Differences between Common Source amplifier Common Drain amplifier Common Gate amplifier?
 
Answer:

Configuration

Voltage Gain

Current Gain

Input Resistance

Output Resistance

Common- Source

AV >1

-


Moderate to high

Source-Follower

AV ≈ 1

-


Low

Common- Gate

AV > 1

Ai ≈ 1

Low

Moderate to high



Both the common-gate and common source has voltage gain of greater that 1 compared with the voltage gain of source- follower which is less than or approximately equal to 1 . The input resistance of both common-source and source follower is high typically ranges from kilo ohms and above while common-gate has a low input impedance ranges from hundred ohms or below. The output resistance of both common-gate and common-source are dominated by RD while source follower has low output impedance and is not dominated by RD

 

What is the difference between amplifier and operational amplifier?

An ordinary amplifier is the one which amplifies the input signal alone.. but an Operational amplifier performs the functions of summing, inverting, differentiation, integrating, division, multiplication etc..of the input signal..
