Abstract
Method and apparatus for amplification of an electrical signal whose frequency may range from zero to 300 MHz, and whose voltage level may range from 0.5 volt to 0.5 volt, with intermittent resetting of the zero voltage level provided for. One or two incoming signals are divided into low frequency and high frequency components, and amplification of each of these components is optimized by passage of the component through a separate amplification circuit. Input signals to the high and low frequency amplification circuits are intermittently chopped to allow resetting of the zero voltage levels of the amplifier.
