THEORY
The CE amplifier provides high gain & wide frequency response. The emitter lead is
common to both input and output circuits and is grounded. The emitter base circuit is forward biased.
The collector current is controlled by the base current rather than emitter current. The input signal is
applied to base terminal of the transistor and amplifier output is taken across collector terminal. A
very small change in base current produces a much larger change in collector current.
Frequency response of an amplifier is defined as the variation of gain with respective frequency. The
gain of the amplifier increases as the frequency increases from zero till it becomes maximum at lower
cut-off frequency and remains constant till higher cut-off frequency and then it falls again as the
frequency increases.
At low frequencies the reactance of coupling capacitor CC is quite high and hence very small part of
signal will pass through from one stage to the next stage.
At high frequencies the reactance of inter electrode capacitance is very small and behaves as a short
circuit. This increases the loading effect on next stage and service to reduce the voltage gain due to
these reasons the voltage gain drops at high frequencies.
At mid frequencies the effect of coupling capacitors is negligible and acts like short circuit, where as
inter electrode capacitors acts like open circuit. So, the circuit becomes resistive at mid frequencies
and the voltage gain remains constant during this range.

THEORY
The FET is a type of transistor commonly used for weak signal amplification. The
device can amplify analog or digital signals. It can also switch DC or function as an oscillator. In the
FET current flows along a semiconductor path called the channel. At one end of the channel, there is
an electrode called source. At the other end of the channel there is an electrode called the drain.
Frequency response of an amplifier is defined as the variation of gain with respective
frequency. The gain of the amplifier increases as the frequency increases from zero till it becomes
maximum at lower cut-off frequency and remains constant till higher cut-off frequency and then it
falls again as the frequency increases.
At low frequencies the reactance of coupling capacitor CC is quite high and hence very
small part of signal will pass through from one stage to the next stage.
At high frequencies the reactance of inter electrode capacitance is very small and behaves as a short

THEORY
As the gain provided by a single stage amplifier is usually not sufficient to drive the load, so
to achieve extra gain multi-stage amplifier are used. In multi-stage amplifiers output of one-stage is
coupled to the input of the next stage. The coupling of one stage to another is done with the help of
some coupling devices. If it is coupled by RC then the amplifier is called RC-coupled amplifier.
Frequency response of an amplifier is defined as the variation of gain with respective
frequency. The gain of the amplifier increases as the frequency increases from zero till it becomes
maximum at lower cut-off frequency and remains constant till higher cut-off frequency and then it
falls again as the frequency increases.
At low frequencies the reactance of coupling capacitor CC is quite high and hence very small
part of signal will pass through from one stage to the next stage.
At high frequencies the reactance of inter electrode capacitance is very small and behaves as a

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 600.thus,the RC ladder network
produces a total phase shift of 1800 between its input and output voltage for the given
frequencies.since CE amplifier produces 1800 phase shift the total phase shift from the base of the

THEORY
Power amplifiers are mainly used to deliver more power to the load. To deliver more
power it requires large input signals, so generally power amplifiers are preceded by a series of voltage
amplifiers.
In class-A power amplifiers, Q-point is located in the middle of DC-load line. So output
current flows for complete cycle of input signal. Under zero signal condition, maximum power
dissipation occurs across the transistor. As the input signal amplitude increases power dissipation
reduces.
The maximum theoretical efficiency is 25%.

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 acts 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 180o of the input signal 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%.

The FET is a type of transistor commonly used for weak signal amplification. The
device can amplify analog or digital signals. It can also switch DC or function as an oscillator. In the
FET current flows along a semiconductor path called the channel. At one end of the channel, there is
an electrode called source. At the other end of the channel there is an electrode called the drain.
Frequency response of an amplifier is defined as the variation of gain with respective
frequency. The gain of the amplifier increases as the frequency increases from zero till it becomes
maximum at lower cut-off frequency and remains constant till higher cut-off frequency and then it
falls again as the frequency increases.

THEORY
The CE amplifier provides high gain & wide frequency response. The emitter lead is
common to both input and output circuits and is grounded. The emitter base circuit is forward biased.
The collector current is controlled by the base current rather than emitter current. The input signal is
applied to base terminal of the transistor and amplifier output is taken across collector terminal. A
very small change in base current produces a much larger change in collector current.
Frequency response of an amplifier is defined as the variation of gain with respective frequency. The
gain of the amplifier increases as the frequency increases from zero till it becomes maximum at lower
cut-off frequency and remains constant till higher cut-off frequency and then it falls again as the
frequency increases.
At low frequencies the reactance of coupling capacitor CC is quite high and hence very small part of
signal will pass through from one stage to the next stage.
At high frequencies the reactance of inter electrode capacitance is very small and behaves as a short
circuit. This increases the loading effect on next stage and service to reduce the voltage gain due to
these reasons the voltage gain drops at high frequencies.
At mid frequencies the effect of coupling capacitors is negligible and acts like short circuit, where as
inter electrode capacitors acts like open circuit. So, the circuit becomes resistive at mid frequencies
and the voltage gain remains constant during this range.
PROCEDURE
1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
2. By keeping the amplitude of the input signal constant at 40mv(p-p), vary the frequency from
100Hz to 1 MHz.
3. Note down the amplitude of the output signal for corresponding values of input frequencies.

THEORY
As the gain provided by a single stage amplifier is usually not sufficient to drive the load, so
to achieve extra gain multi-stage amplifier are used. In multi-stage amplifiers output of one-stage is
coupled to the input of the next stage. The coupling of one stage to another is done with the help of
some coupling devices. If it is coupled by RC then the amplifier is called RC-coupled amplifier.
Frequency response of an amplifier is defined as the variation of gain with respective
frequency. The gain of the amplifier increases as the frequency increases from zero till it becomes
maximum at lower cut-off frequency and remains constant till higher cut-off frequency and then it
falls again as the frequency increases.

Voltage regulator is a device designed to maintain the output voltage as nearly constant
as possible. It monitors the output voltage and generates feed back that automatically increases are
decreases the supply voltage to compensate for any changes in output voltage that might occur
because of change in load are changes in load voltages.
In transistorized series voltage regulator the control element is a transistor which is in
series with load. must be operated in reverse break down region, where it provides constant voltage
irrespective of changes in applied voltages.The output voltage of the series voltage regulator is Vo =
Vz Vbe. Since, Vz is constant, any change in Vo must cause a change in Vbe in order to maintain
the above equation. So, when Vo decreases Vbe increases, which causes the transistor to conduct

THEORY
A voltage regulator is a device or a combination of devices, design to maintain the
output voltage of a power supply as nearly constant as possible even if there are changes in load or in
input voltage. In shunt voltage regulator transistor Q1 acts as control element, which is in shunt with
load voltage.
The output voltage is given as
Vo = Vz + VR1 = Vz + Vbe1 + Vbe2
The regulation action of the circuit is explained below :
Since Vz is constant, any changes in output voltage reflects a propositional change in
R1. If the output voltage decreases, voltage across R1 decreases which in turn decreases the base
voltage of Q2. As a result the base current of Q1 decreases which allows the load voltage to rise and
makes it constant the same regulation action follows even if the output voltage increases.
PROCEDURE
1. Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Apply the input voltage from power supply.
