3.1 Inverting Video Gain Stage
The circuit described in this section is an inverting gain stage with a voltage
divider on the output, shown in Figure 3−1. The voltage gain from J1 to J4 is
simplified in equation 1. Assuming a 75-Ω source impedance, equation 1
indicates the gain when R1 is changed to 78.7 Ω, and R3 and R5 are changed
to 75 Ω. Rt is the termination resistance of the measurement device.

R5 is used to match the output impedance of the amplifier to the line being
driven and the instrument taking measurements. For short transmission line
length, R5 can be replaced with a jumper.
R5 can also be used to isolate the amplifier from large capacitive loads.
