| Abstract | The design of a preamplifier for use with a piezoelectric transducer is generally approached from the point of view that an extremely high input impedance is required to obtain low frequency response. However, piezoelectric transducers are essentially charge generators and this fact may be utilized in designing preamplifiers to be used with them. In this thesis the concept of a charge amplifier is discussed and a practical expression is derived in terms of frequency response, input impedance, amplifier gain, and feedback capacitor value. It is shown that modest input impedances may be used and low frequency response maintained, using this concept. A practical amplifier design is illustrated and its performance is described. |
