Understanding Operational Transconductance Amplifiers
The bias current iabc controls the bias current for the whole amplifier, much like with the LM346. Hooking up the output buffer to the output with nothing between gives you an uncompensated opamp. …

Why is input impedance matching done for amplifiers?
Impedance matching is important in RF circuits to prevent reflections. When the input impedance of the load matches the characteristic impedance of the transmission line there is no reflection at the …

Noisy BTL Audio Amplifier Circuit
From the NE5532 datasheet:
You will have to use a different opamp or a higher supply voltage of at least +-5V (10V single supply).

How does the resistor at the tail act as a current source in a differential pair?
An ideal current source has infinite output impedance (i.e. \$dV/dI = \infty\$). A real current source is equivalent to an ideal current source in parallel with some finite output impedance Ro.
A cu …

My non-inverting amplifing circuit is always giving constant output values
Read the datasheet before choosing an op-amp.
You are violating the recommended supply voltage range
and the input common-mode voltage range

How to keep decompensated op amp in linear region?
The second one probably would have worked if Q1 was instead a MOSFET. Both introduce substantial nonlinearity near the threshold. Here's an alternative.
Something like this:
