Single-Ended Amplification
 
An amplifier stage in which a single transistor provides the amplification. Since there is no input coupler to add loss, the noise figure of a single-ended stage may be lower than that of a balanced stage. Minimum-loss interstage coupling also means that a single-ended amplifier stage will generally produce a somewhat higher gain than the equivalent balanced stage.

Single-ended gain blocks using lossy feedback can also be used to provide gain with lower DC power consumption and reduced size.
