Analog distortion musical signals
Růžička, Matěj ; Kubánek, David (referee) ; Vrba, Kamil (advisor)
In this bachelor thesis I studied the differences in sound of valve amplifiers and solidstate amplifiers, causes of those differences, mathematical modelling the transfer characteristic of valve amplifier and then modeling it with simple diode limiter, which used several types of semiconductor diodes, Properties of those diodes were measured as well. Then I constructed limiters for both polarities of input signal, which had non-linear transfer characteristics similar to the valve amplifier and I evaluated their qualities. Then I measured simple amplifier with bipolar transistor, JFET N-channel transistor and optocoupler, Furthermore, I modified triangle-to-sine converters with bipolar transistor, JFET N-channel transistor, measured and evaluated their transfer characteristics. At the end of this bachelor thesis I described designing a diode-based functional converter and converter made from several bipolar transistors, both of these had similar shape of transfer characteristics and I evaluated their qualities by comparing weighted harmonic distortion of the output signal with output signal of tube amplifier.
