Is this Amplification Circuit Possible?
(OP)
I don't know much about opamps.
The idea is to use various opamps in series, with different charateristics according to the input voltage, but with the main goal to increase the peak voltage,let's 5 or more volts, and mostly keep the sine wave frequency of the orginal circuit. Is this possible?. Assume you have all the necessary power source to power the opamps.
RE: Is this Amplification Circuit Possible?
A small, plug in, UPS typically boosts 12 Volt DC up to 120 Volts AC.
An inverter (an oscillator driving a power amp) feeds 60 Hz at 12 Volts, peak to peak to a transformer which steps it up to 120 Volts AC.
The transformer acts as a filter and smooths out the original waveform from the inverter to more closely approximate a sign wave.
The most efficient use of power transistors is a method called Pulse Width Modulation.
The power oscillator outputs a series of square wave pulses of varying width and spacing.
Fed into an induction coil or transformer, The overall RMS of these pulses is a sign wave.
The inherent inductive reactance of a transformer acts as the filter.
The losses in a semi conductor are the least when the semi-conductor is full on. (Or of course full off)
The advantage of PWM is that the semi-conductor is either full on or off.
Hence the series of square waves.
The pulses are generated at a much higher frequency than 60 Hz.
It is possible for the oscillator to generate a sine wave which may then be transformed to a higher voltage, but for a given semi-conductor, PWM will safely pass a much greater current than if the current is modulated to a sine wave rather than switched full on and off by the semi-conductor.

Not just a good idea;
It's the LAW!

It may be done with one amplifier and one transformer.
