Abstract
An amplifier having properties of natural side tone balancing based on the utilization of a bridge arrangement, high efficiency with resulting high gain, high AC impedance and compatibility with electret microphones and electret microphone amplifiers. A matched pair of differential transistors arranged as part of a bridge circuit form a detector of the receive signal at one input versus a transmit signal which appears at both inputs in the same phase and therefore is rejected as a common mode signal. The resultant balancing of side tone and high gain finds particular application in telephone networks where the characteristics dictate the need for higher than usual receive gain or for use by auditorially handicapped users over a normal telephone network.
