EXPERIMENT- 1

Objective: To study the single stage RC coupled CE, CB, CC amplifier.


Resources Required: Transistor, Resistance , Regulated Power supply, Capacitor, Signal Generator,
CRO , Breadboard and Wires ,CRO Probes
Thoery:
The single stage common emitter amplifier circuit shown below uses what is commonly called
"Voltage Divider Biasing" or “self biasing”. The Common Emitter Amplifier circuit has a resistor in its
Collector circuit. The current flowing through this resistor produces the voltage output of the amplifier.
The value of this resistor is chosen so that at the amplifiers quiescent operating point, Q-point this
output voltage lies half way along the transistors load line. In Common Emitter Amplifier circuits,
capacitors C1 and C2 are used as Coupling Capacitors to separate the AC signals from the DC biasing
voltage. This ensures that the bias condition set up for the circuit to operate correctly is not affected by
any additional amplifier stages, as the capacitors will only pass AC signals and block any DC
component.
The output AC signal is then superimposed on the biasing of the following stages. Also a bypass
capacitor, CE is included in the Emitter leg circuit. This capacitor is an open circuit component for DC
bias meaning that the biasing currents and voltages are not affected by the addition of the capacitor
maintaining a good Q-point stability. However, this bypass capacitor short circuits the Emitter resistor
at high frequency signals and only RL plus a very small internal resistance acts as the transistors load
increasing the voltage gain to its maximum.
Generally, the value of the bypass capacitor, CE is chosen to provide a reactance of at most, 1/10th the
value of RE at the lowest operating signal frequency.

PROCEDURE:

1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.


2. A 10V supply is given to the circuit.
3. A certain amplitude of input signal (say 20mv at 1 kHz) is kept constant using signal
generator and for different frequencies, the output voltage (V0) from CRO are noted.
4. Gain for with and without feedback is calculated using Gain (in dB)= 20 log (V 0/Vi)
where Vo is output voltage, Vi is input voltage.
5. Plot the graph between Gain (in dB) and frequency
6. Repeat the circuit diagram shown above for CB and CC configuration.

PRECAUTIONS:
1. While doing the experiment do not exceed the ratings of the transistor. This may lead to damage the
transistor.
2. Do not switch ON the power supply unless you have checked the circuit connections as per the circuit
diagram.
3. Make sure while selecting the emitter, base and collector terminals of the transistor.

was plotted. From the graph, the Bandwidth was obtained as …………..
