3) Apply V, O_lv fom the R signal generator. Use the oscilloscope to
monitor V, _ Measure the frequency range covered by the amplifier by tuning LC
circuit to the frequency of the input signal (resonance). Compare with computed
values_ Explain differences_
4) Measure amplifier gain for !,"d'!li range andfma.' using the oscilloscope as a
