It is provided with an air supply (typically 2\u20134 bar) and an input signal pressure. The amplifier admits air to, or vents air from, the output to maintain a constant output\/input ratio. An amplifier with a gain of two, for example, turns a 0.2\u20131 bar signal range to a 0.4\u20132 bar range. Output pressure, controlled by the amplifier, has the ability to provide a large air volume and can drive large-capacity loads.<\/font> <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"5\">A unity gain air amplifier is shown in Figure 7.4b.

Equal-area diaphragms have been used in the unity gain amplifier of Figure 7.4b. The area of the input diaphragm in the amplifier of Figure 7.4c is <i>twice <\/i>the area of the output diaphragm. For balance, the output pressure must be twice the input pressure, giving a gain of two.
