correct operation .Set the input voltage to a fixed value. Keeping the input voltage
Vary the input frequency from 0Hz to 1MHz and note down the corresponding output
voltage. plot the graph : gain (dB) Vs frequency .Calculate the bandwidth from the

To find out input impedance:

Connect DRB in the input side in series with the base of the transistor
Initially keep the resistance as 0
Vary F.G to get maximum output
Increase the resistance of the DRB such that output reduces to one half of the
maximum output
To find out output impedance:

Connect DRB in the output side in shunt with the load resistor
Initially keep the resistance as MAX
Vary F.G to get maximum output
Decrease the resistance of the DRB such that output reduces to one half of
the maximum output
