III. Basic theories involved in the experiment

Notice：basic theories and key understanding, including figures and equations.
Single-tube amplifier is one of the most basic amplifiers. We adopt
fixed-bias amplifier circuit in this experiment, as shown in Figure 2-1.
In the figure,
RB1=100KΩ，RC1=2KΩ，RL1=100Ω，RW1=1MΩ,C1=C2=10μF/15V,T1
为 9013(β=160-200).
 To guarantee the normal work of amplifier, that is to amplify the
signals correctly, quiescent operating point must be chosen properly
firstly. If operating point is too high, output signal
will generate saturation distortion; If it is too low , cut-off distortion will be
generated, so the choice of operating point directly affects the output voltage
on the premise of distortion, that is, affects voltage amplification
factor （ Av=V0/Vi ） . When transistor and supply voltage Vcc=12V is
chosen, voltage amplification factor has something to do with collector total
load resistor RL’(RL’=Rc//RL) . If Rc or RL is changed, voltage
amplification factor will be also changed.
After transistor、supply voltage Vcc and other parameters of the circuit ( such
as Rc ) are
determined, quiescent operating point mainly depends on the choice of
IB . Thus, adjusting operating point is realized primarily by adjusting
the value of biasing resistor ( we realize it by adjusting potentiometer
Rw1 in this experiment), and then we can observe the influence of
operating point on the waveform of output voltage.

IV. Experiment content and data

Notice：describe content of the experiment，key steps and data. List result figures
and tables.

1. Adjust quiescent operating point

Experimental circuit can be seen in “Single-tube AC amplifier
circuit” unit on 9-hole plug-in board, as shown in Figure below.
The input voltage of D.C. stabilized source on the board is +12V.
Power output is connected to +12V and earth of “Single-tube AC
amplifier circuit” on the board
by leads, and connect J1 and J2 in Figure. J3 and J4 are connected
( that is Rc1=5kΩ), J5 and J6 are connected, and RW3 are adjusted
to be maximum (that is
load resistor RL=RL1+RW3=about 2.7kΩ). Do not turn on the
power before checking your connection.
 Measure the transistor voltage VCE by multimeter, and adjust
potentiometer RW1 at
the same time to make VCE=about 5V, thus, quiescent operating
point can be located in the midpoint of load line.
To check whether the operating point of amplifier is proper, the
signal f=1kHz output by signal generator should be connected to
the input of amplifier, and
gradually increase the amplitude of signal υ i from 0, observe the
waveform of
output voltage υ0 of amplifier by oscilloscope. If the adjustment of
operating point of the amplifier is proper, the cut-off distortion and
saturation distortion of the amplifier should appear at the same
time. If they don’t appear at the same time,
proper operating point can be got by changing the value of RW1 slightly.
At the moment the signal Vi should be removed, even if Vi=0,
separately measure the voltage of every point of transistor to earth
Vc、VB and VE, and fill them into table, then compute quiescent
operating point according to the formulas below.

Note: when resistor RB is measured, power supply must be
turned off. At the same time the link between J4 and J2 should
be disconnected.

 2. Measure the voltage amplification factor of the amplifier,
observing the

influence of RC1 and RL on amplification factor

On the basis of procedure 1, adjust the signal generator to
realize that f=1kHz、the output is 5mV. And then connect it to
the input of monopole amplifying

circuit, that is Vi=5mV . Observe the waveform of output υ0, and

use transistorized millivoltmeter to measure output voltage V0

On load RL, i.e. J5 and J6 are

connected, measure V0

Then RC1 is located in the position of 2kΩ , and measure output

voltage V0΄ and V0 in two cases above, and fill the measuring results
into table.
Compute voltage amplification factor according to the formulas
