emitter and determine bandwidth, gain bandwidth products and gain at 1 KHz with and ' without
negative feedback.
Equipment Required:
Component Required:
When any increase in the output signal results into the input in such a way as to cause the decrease
in the output signal, the amplifier is said to have negative feedback. The advantages of providing
negative feedback are that the transfer gain of the amplifier with feedback can be stabilized against
variations in the hybrid parameters the transistor or the parameters of the other active devices used
in the circuit. The most advantage of the negative feedback is that by proper use of this, there is
significant improvement in the frequency response and in the linearity of the operation of the
amplifier. This disadvantage of the negative feedback is that the voltage gain is decreased. In
Voltage-Series feedback, the input impedance of the amplifier is decreased, and the output
impedance is increased. Noise and distortions are reduced considerably.

Component Required:
Table 2.2
Theory:
Regulator is a circuit, which maintains the terminal voltage constant even if input voltage varies or
load current is varying.
2.1 Shunt regulator. The simplest form of voltage regulator uses a zener diode. This
circuit gives more or less constant voltage irrespective of change in input voltage and load
current. The unregulated voltage Vi is applied to the series current limiting resistor Rs and
the regulated output is taken across zener diode. A zener diode is in parallel with load, it is
known as shunt regulator.
2.2 Series regulator: A low power zener diode is employed in simple regulator circuit,
then the load current is limited by the maximum load current. In series voltage regulator,
output is continuously sampled and then compared with a reference voltage any variation in
the output is amplified and then fed to base of pass transistor. Negative feedback is used in
this circuit.
2.3 Load regulating is the change in output voltage for a given change in load current (for
example: "typically 15mV, maximum 100 mV for load currents between 5mA and 1.4A, at
some specified temperature and input voltage").
2.4 Line regulation or input regulation is the degree to which output voltage changes with
input (supply) voltage changes - as a ratio of output to input change (for example "typically
13mV7V"), or the output voltage change over the entire specified input voltage range (for
example "plus or minus 2% for input voltages between 90V and 260V, 50-60Hz").

Theory:
A FET is a three-terminal device, having the characteristics of high input impedance and less noise,
the Gate to Source junction of the FET s always reverse biased. In response to small, applied
voltage from drain to source, the n-type bar acts as sample resistor, and the drain current increases
linearly with VDS. With increase in ID the ohmic voltage drop between the source and the channel
region reverse biases the junction and the conducting position of the channel begins to remain
constant. The VDS at this instant is called “pinch off voltage”. If the gate to source voltage (Vos) is
applied in the direction to provide additional reverse bias, the pinch off voltage ill is decreased. In
amplifier application, the FET is always used in the region beyond the pinch-off.

Theory:
Power amplifiers are designed using different circuit configuration with the sole purpose of
delivering maximum undistorted output power to load. Push-pull amplifiers operating either
in class-B are class-AB are used in high power audio system with high efficiency. In
complementary-symmetry class-B power amplifier two types of transistors. NPN and PNP
are used. These transistors act as emitter follower with both emitters connected together. In
class-B power amplifier Q-point is located either in cut-off region or in saturation region. So,
that only 180° of the input signals is flowing in the output. In * complementary-symmetry
power amplifier, during the positive half cycle of input signal NPN transistor conducts and
during the negative half cycle PNP transistor conducts. Since, the two transistors are
complement of each other and they are connected symmetrically so, the name complementary
symmetry has come. Theoretically efficiency of complementary symmetry power amplifier is
78.5%. Class-B push-pull amplifier helps in getting higher efficiency and consequently
higher output power for a given type of transistor. Here no biasing is required because in
class-B operation, operating point is set at cut-of region (on x-axis) for which no biasing is
required.

Theory
An oscillator is an electronic circuit for generating an AC signal voltage with a DC supply as
the only input requirement. The frequency of the generated signal is decided by the circuit
elements used. An oscillator requires an amplifier, a frequency selective network and positive
feedback from the output to the input. The Barkhausen’s criterion for sustained oscillation is
Aβ = 1 where A is the gain of the amplifier and β is the feedback factor (gain). The unity gain
means signal is in phase. (If the signal is 1800 out of phase and gain will be -1). A Wien
bridge oscillator is a type of electronic oscillator that generates sine waves. It can generate a
large range of frequencies. The oscillator is based on a bridge circuit originally developed by
Max Wien in 1891 for the measurement of impedances. The bridge comprises four resistors
and two capacitors. The oscillator can also be viewed as a positive gain amplifier combined
with a bandpass filter that provides positive feedback. Automatic gain control, intentional
non-linearity and incidental non-linearity limit the output amplitude in various
implementations of the oscillator. The circuit shown to the right depicts a common
implementation of the oscillator, with automatic gain control, using modern components.
Under the condition that R1=R2=R and C1=C2=C, the frequency of oscillation is given by:
f= 1/2 Π RC
and the condition of stable oscillation is given by
Rb = Rf/2

Discussion:

Bridge in the feedback network, the oscillator circuit becomes sensitive to one particular
frequency. This particular frequency is that for which the bridge is in balanced condition. The
voltage across the parallel combination of R and C is fed to the input of the amplifier.

RC-Phase shift Oscillator has a CE amplifier followed by three sections of RC phase shift
feedback Networks the output of the last stage is return to the input of the amplifier. The
values of R and C are chosen such that the phase shift of each RC section is 60°Thus The RC
ladder network produces a total phase shift of 180° between its input and output voltage for
the given frequencies. Since CE Amplifier produces 180° phases shift the total phase shift
from the base of the transistor around the circuit and back to the base will be exactly 360° or
0°. This satisfies the Barkhausen’s condition for sustaining oscillations and total loop gain of
this circuit is greater than or equal to 1, this condition used to generate the sinusoidal
oscillations.

Theory:
Hartley oscillator is very popular and is commonly used as a local oscillator in radio
receivers. It has two main advantages viz. Adaptability to wide range of frequencies and easy
to tune. The tank circuit is made up of LI, L2, and Cl. The coil LI is inductively coupled to
coil L2, the combination functions as auto transformer. The resistances R2 and R3 provide
the necessary biasing. The capacitance C2 blocks the d.c component. The frequency of
oscillations is determined by the values of LI, L2 and Cl and is given by,
F=1/(2 Π(C1(√L1+L2)))
The energy supplied to the tank circuit is of correct phase. The auto transformer provides
180° out of phase. Also, another 180° is produced By the transistor. In this way, energy
feedback to the tank circuit is in phase with the generated oscillations.

Table 8.1
Theory:
A Unijunction Transistor (UJT) is an electronic semiconductor device that has only one
junction. The UJT Unijunction Transistor (UJT) has three terminals an emitter (E) and two
bases (B1 and B2). The base is formed by lightly doped n-type bar of silicon. Two ohmic
contacts B1 and B2 are attached at its ends. The emitter is of p-type, and it is heavily doped.
The resistance between B1 and B2, when the emitter is open circuit is called interface
resistance. The original unijunction transistor, or UJT, is a simple device that is essentially a
bar of N type semiconductor material into which P type material has been diffused
somewhere along its length. The 2N2646 is the most commonly used version of the UJT. The
UJT is biased with a positive voltage between the two bases. This causes a potential drop
along the length of the device. When the emitter voltage is driven approximately one diode
voltage above the voltage at the point where the P diffusion (emitter) is, current will begin to
flow from the emitter into the base region. Because the base region is very lightly doped, the
additional current (actually charges in the base region) causes (conductivity modulation)
which reduces the resistance of the portion of the base between the emitter junction and the
B2 terminal. This reduction in resistance means that the emitter junction is more forward
biased, and so even more current is injected
Overall, the effect is a negative resistance at the emitter terminal. This is what makes the UJT
useful, especially in simple oscillator circuits. When the emitter voltage reaches Vp, the
current starts to increase, and the emitter voltage starts to decrease. This is represented by
negative slope of the characteristics which is referred to as the negative resistance region,
beyond the valley point, RB1 reaches minimum value and this region, VEB proportional to
IE.
