An amplifier, electronic amplifier or (informally) amp is an electronic device that can increase the power of a signal (a time-varying voltage or current). It is a two-port electronic circuit that uses electric power from a power supply to increase the amplitude of a signal applied to its input terminals, producing a proportionally greater amplitude signal at its output. A radio frequency (RF) amplifier design typically optimizes impedance for power transfer, while audio and instrumentation amplifier designs normally optimize input and output impedance for least loading and highest signal integrity.
