Introducing the X-GainClone

I've not tested it, nor build it yet.

It's only an idea I had this morning, and I played with it on simmetrix.

Values aren't critical, and certainly not the best ones.
Gain is 44 (33dB)

I think existing suggestions from Nelson suggests that the X works with a small number if stages only and 3 kind of being the limit. If there are too many stages you would get the "infinite hall of mirrors" effect.

Nothing wrong in testing though. Simple enough to build and if doesn't work then it doesn't work.

It will work, but it won't be an X circuit. The error of one
half is reproduced with the wrong phase to cancel.

:bawling:


Ah! That's why lowering the "crossed resitors"'s values increased the gain :idea:


As a correction, I don't see anything else that connecting the "crosses resistors" to the non inverting inputs (that won't be connected to ground anymore, but certainly to a grounded resistor)

Another idea, Mr Pass?
 
The general idea is, that you one way or the other, isolates errors from signal in such a way that the signal from one side is fed reversed and the errors fed nonreversed to the other side, then the errors appears in common mode and thus canclled and the signal in difrential mode thus amplified.
In your scematic I can´t see any separation between errors and signal wich is the first step to X. It works but no X.

are you talking about my first shematic, the second, or both?
 
Quoting Nelson:
The essence is still using a symmetric feedback arrangement
around a differential pair, which isolates error from signal
and uses it to make distortion on two halves identically
in phase and thus cancelled.
