  8. What is caused by a small part of the signal from the amplifier output being sent back to the input of the amplifier?
    Oscillation
  9. Which type of device produces two signals that differ in phase from each other from a single input signal?
    Phase splitter
  10. What is the process of sending part of the output signal of an amplifier back to the input of the amplifier called?
    Feedback

    Voltage amplifier
  16. What is an amplifier in which the output signal power is greater than the input signal power?
    Power amplifier
  17. Audio amplifier, RF amplifier, along with what else are the three broad categories of frequency response for amplifiers?
    Video amplifier
  18. RF amplifiers are designed to amplify frequencies between 10 kHz and what?
